Investing in small businesses that are highly scalable and operating in large markets.
Our
VISION
FOCUS
We focus on sectors with high recurring revenues, where there is a dislocation between customer acquisition cost and lifetime value.
PARTNER
We partner with private investors and family offices that seek long-term investments with steady, high-quality returns.
SCALE
We work with management teams to scale businesses through organic growth and consolidation, which benefits customers, employees, and shareholders.
THE
OPPORTUNITY
There are 5.5 million small businesses in the UK generating £2 trillion in revenue, representing 50% of all UK business.
New technology, increasing regulation and rising costs can have an adverse impact on smaller companies, which may be better overcome as part of a larger group.
Private and family-owned businesses need a clear succession plan in place for the future that works for all stakeholders; this can involve different objectives and different time periods. By partnering with long-term investors, we can work with owners to address everyone’s needs.
When we invest in a business we invest in its people. We believe in providing the right support to help employees achieve their goals, as well as the training and development of the next generation.
OUR
PEOPLE
We work with an extensive network of investors, founders, and corporate leaders to provide capital, advice and operational expertise to help businesses scale.
Our team has extensive experience of working with companies at all growth stages, from start-up to the largest publicly listed companies in the UK, and across a wide array of sectors from the most highly complex and regulated financial services businesses to the fastest growing technology services.
