Noviti Finance, a provider of alternative business financing, has received an investment of €700,000 from Belgian private equity fund Helenos.

The company said that the new funds will be used to strengthen its position in the local market but also accelerate international expansion.

Established three years ago, Helenos aims to strengthen the capital base of financial intermediaries focused on supporting micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).

The fund benefits from the support of the European Investment Fund (EIF) and several major Western European banks to promote long-term economic growth and social inclusion by encouraging entrepreneurship.

Helenos is managed by Inpulse, an impact investment manager based in Belgium.
