Verso in brief

Verso is a Finnish private equity company focusing on spin-offs and growth companies.

How is a spin-off created?

Every day we contact large companies to discuss whether their business portfolios include operations that have become non-core.
Based on our extensive experience, we have built a model for carving out a business operation from a company quickly and cost-effectively, without complicated processes.
The key employees become employees of the new company.
Verso invests equity in the new company and actively supports the management to grow the business.

How are we helping growth companies?

We improve the company’s financing by investing equity, and also help with other financing arrangements.
A professional approach to the board of directors’ work makes management more systematic. We also coach the management in implementing growth plans.
The systematic planning and implementation of international sales and marketing operations enable the company to achieve its targets for growth.
Support for financial management lays a solid foundation for growth.
