“During the preparation of the documents I appreciated the very rapid and sharp feedback. Even substantive discussions on the assumptions and the development of the business case I found particularly. On behalf of RCS I can wholeheartedly recommend ECFG.”
“ECFG is extremely personally involved, has an active attitude and a no-nonsense mentality. As a result one could realize the acquisition and financing on short-term.”
“The service is adequate, supportive (proactive) and effective”
‘’By objectively holding up a mirror, ECFG created the capacity and the momentum to redefine the direction of the company as well as the realization of the (financing) targets.’’

What it means
ECFG acceleration means:
- ECFG supports entrepreneurs and companies
- ECFG applies business development in every life-stage
- Advice and support helps entrepreneurs with result focused ‘’business development that matters’”.
- ECFG has experience in- and the network for structuring all the aspects of modulated growth: completing and solving ‘’the cube’. Together we build companies and help them to accelerate.
The approach
In order to accelerate, money is required every time. We arrange this through our network of funding instruments. The understanding and arrangement of the right approach and application for funding instruments is a trade in itself, a trade we are particularly good at.
Combining three pillars of our expertise enables us to let a company accelerate: Combining funding (see figure below), knowledge of business development and deployment of our network of people who understand the market and its processes. Putting together all those elements is specific trade (hence the cube is never easily solved), which eventually leads to the right growth path by putting together pieces in different colors, in different combinations and in different phases.
