Family-owned businesses continue to play a significant role in the Italian and Spanish economies, accounting for more than 80 percent of all enterprises and around 60 percent of GDP in both countries. In the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, private equity investment is once again growing steadily in Italy and Spain, where the undercapitalization of SMEs and succession planning have opened significant opportunities for investment, despite the legacy risks attached to both jurisdictions. How can investors make the most of these opportunities? What are the new and legacy risks that come with investments in Italy and Spain? How should investors prepare and react to such risks, and what else can they do to protect their returns?
