Business loans in Italy from €100K to €25M

Apex Euro Capital originates commercial loans for Italy headquartered companies, covering working capital loans, CAPEX, expansion and refinancing of existing business debt. As a non-bank lender we underwrite on cash flow and asset quality rather than branch policy, so borrowers in Milan, Rome and Bologna and across the regions get a decision that reflects their trading reality.

Working capital loans and invoice finance in Italy

Revolving credit facilities, receivables financing and supply chain finance that smooth seasonal cycles and free trapped cash from your Italy order book.

Asset based lending and equipment finance in Italy

Machinery, fleet and plant financing structured against the asset, with sale and leaseback available for capital already tied up on your balance sheet.

Acquisition finance and refinancing in Italy

Senior, unitranche and subordinated debt for buy and build strategies, management buyouts and consolidating legacy facilities into one cleaner structure.

Alternative lenders and private credit for Italy businesses

Bank retrenchment has widened the gap between what Italy companies need and what traditional lenders approve. Apex fills that gap with direct lending and private credit capital, priced against EURIBOR and documented to institutional standards. Italian SMEs are supported with cross border structures and local execution.

Common questions

Established Italy companies with at least €1M of revenue, three years of trading and audited or reviewed accounts. Property and project sponsors are assessed on asset and cash flow quality instead.
