Growth financing platform NPEX has broken its own records by providing EUR 23.5 million in financing for 10 Dutch companies in the first half of 2017. The uptake in financing compares with EUR 13.0 million in 2016, a surge of 81% already achieved in the first half of 2017.

The funds to finance the companies through the NPEX platform have been provided by the capital markets, which supported the companies either through the purchase of bonds or certificates. Adriaan Hendriks, director at NPEX is confident about their approach: “The results show that investors are confident in the methods employed by NPEX and the way we analyse the companies issuing through our platform alongside the provision of a prospectus to potential investors.”
