A focused approach

We maintain a disciplined focus on the UK smaller unquoted companies sector. Companies should be: 

• UK companies achieving sales of £50m or less

• EBITDA positive or with a clear route to generating positive EBITDA

• Demonstrating the potential to deliver robust, achievable growth 

• Operating in established sectors of the economy

A structured process

We have a well-honed methodology that combines our experience and judgement with in-depth analysis and a rigorous due diligence process. The process starts with a careful pre-screening stage and continues right through to the final exit. An investment is only as good as the value achieved on exit and our senior executives have many years experience of all forms of exits: sale, IPO, secondary buy-out or recapitalisation. 

A ‘hands-on’ style (execution, execution, execution)

Strategy is important but successful execution is essential. Once we have invested in a company, we work closely with them to help them execute their strategy and build value. The right chemistry is important and we use contacts in our investment community to augment the management team if needed.
