Our core investment types
Expansion Capital
- Equity capital invested directly into a business to support growth initiatives.
- A minority investment in partnership with existing owners and management team.
- Targeting growth through people, new markets, products, or technologies.
Succession Capital
- The purchase of existing shareholdings to facilitate business or shareholder succession.
- Partnering with new management, or the appointment of new management.
- Taking a controlling shareholding, incorporating debt finance to provide financial leverage.
Occasionally, recapitalisation opportunities will be considered, and investments may incorporate elements of both expansion and succession.
