Argo advises Sofindev on the structuring and launch of Sofindev VII

Argo advised Sofindev on the structuring and launch of Sofindev VII, the firm’s latest private equity fund, which successfully closed at its hard cap of €400 million

Launched in April 2026 with a target size of €350 million to €400 million, Sofindev VII reached its maximum size within two months. The fund attracted strong support from existing investors as well as a select group of new investors.

Sofindev is one of the leading private equity investors focused on small and medium-sized enterprises in the Benelux. Through Sofindev VII, the firm will continue its strategy of supporting ambitious entrepreneurs and management teams through buy-outs and growth capital investments.

The successful closing of Sofindev VII marks another important milestone in Sofindev’s growth story. Since becoming an independent private equity firm in 2015, the team has raised close to €1 billion across successive funds and co-investment vehicles.

Argo assisted Sofindev throughout the fund formation process and advised on the legal structuring and documentation of the fund.
