NOVI 2’S HYBRID FINANCING APPROACH
Novi is the first hybrid fund aimed at SMEs and mid-caps. Launched in 2015 on behalf of 24 institutional investors, Novi 2 has a term of 21 years. It is managed by a dedicated team at Idinvest Partners, which has the expertise required to offer its investees a range of debt, quasi-equity and minority equity financing solutions.
It helps innovative, growing SMEs and mid-caps access financing structures suited to each stage of their development.
Novi 2’s 21-year term, exceptional for this market, enables long-term support, with investment terms ranging from 4 to 8 years and the option of adapting the financing solution after initial setup. This promotes strong, lasting relationships with senior executives at investee companies.
MODULAR FINANCING SOLUTION
Novi 2 is designed to fit within a broader overall financing plan and may be used in conjunction with bank financing (corporate debt or equity) to support the company as its needs evolve (including organic growth, external growth and succession).
FOR ROBUST SMES AND MID-CAPS MEETING SPECIFIC CRITERIA
Novi 2 is aimed at French companies that have been operating for more than 5 years, generating between €30 million and €200 million in revenue, and which have generated a profit for at least the past 3 fiscal years.
Investees undertake to comply with corporate social responsibility criteria.

ERIC GALLERNE, MANAGING PARTNER
A word from the President Izac
We were looking for a long-term financial partner who we can rely on to develop our business network. The Novi 2 fund really won us over. Not just because of its quality-driven approach and financial expertise, but just as importantly, the genuine interest it pays to our day-to-day business. We particularly appreciate Idinvest’s support of our ambition to build on what has spurred our success so far, while respecting our entrepreneurial identity and our desire to stay independent.
JEAN-CLAUDE RHOUM, CHAIRMAN OF IZAC
"Novi 2 is a custom financing solution adapted to French SMEs’ plans for investment and growth."
