Slovak sports retailer Exisport is restarting its expansion efforts, after securing funding from the Polish company Credit Value Investments (CVI). The investor will not buy a stake in Exisport. It will only collect interest on the investment. Neither party specified the volume of the investment, which is a form of debt financing and an alternative to a standard bank loan, writes Trend Reality. Exisport wants to use the money to open new stores in Martin, Trnava, Košice and Prešov and expand its brand portfolio. The retailer also opened an e-shop. This is the Warsaw-based CVI’s first investment in Slovakia.
