Investment Criteria
We back high quality businesses with a credible and achievable growth plan.
If you are a business owner looking for capital to fund a growth plan; diversify your wealth by seeking to put in place a sucession plan and retire from your business to enable you to exit; are a senior manager of a business looking to do a management buy-in/buy-out; or an experienced senior manager that has identified a business that you would like to buy and run, we would love to hear from you.
We focus on the Investment rather than the specific market sectors, investing in companies with strong management and proven track, with owners or managers who embrace our active participation. For such a partnership or investment to realise its full potential, the business should be aligned with all the parties growth and exit aspirations.

We DO NOT invest in:
