arKap & Co

Founded in 2013, arKap & Co is a Swiss advisory boutique based in Zurich, with operating locations in Lugano and Turin and an expanding European footprint. The firm says it has supported SMEs and investors since 2013 and draws on experience across more than 10 countries.

Its work combines corporate finance and strategy with M&A, valuations, capital raising, governance, restructuring, cost management and business transformation. The firm frames its advice around maximizing enterprise value through investment, financing and dividend decisions.

For an intern, the clearest areas of exposure are likely lower-middle-market corporate finance, founder- and owner-led M&A, growth capital and practical strategy execution rather than large-cap investment banking. arKap highlights six relevant industries and more than 20 proprietary reports as part of its platform.
