Look at EIF (https://www.eif.org/what_we_do/where/be/index.htm) including the InnovFin SME Guarantee Facility (http://www.eif.europa.eu/what_we_do/guarantees/single_eu_debt_instrument/cosme-loan-facility-growth/index.htm). InnovFin seems to focus on innovation-driven companies but eligibility criteria does state "The purpose of financing can be investments (tangible or intangible assets), working capital or business transfers." This link might be helpful too; it includes a country profile for Belgium: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/industry-and-services/financing-smes-and-entrepreneurs-2019_fin_sme_ent-2019-en.

Joseph - I think PMV had an example? https://www.pmvz.eu/#tips-en-tricks
but I believe it was given by the bank under the EU COSMI program or something similar https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/finance-funding/getting-funding/access-finance/search/en/financial-intermediaries?shs_term_node_tid_depth=77
