With 3i supporting your business, you get a lot more than funding.  Together we will focus on success, helping you to achieve rapid growth in revenue and profits, and build strong foundations for the longer term.

As a partner, we focus on three priorities: agreeing shared goals, contributing to the key decisions you face, and adding lasting value to your business.

During our 60-year history, we’ve worked with businesses of all sizes, in many industries and countries.  Whether you want to enter new markets, undertake acquisitions, or explore new techniques, we can help.

When you partner with 3i, you can:

• Access patient capital. We offer both flexibility and patient capital, allowing us to proactively support our partners to grow their businesses.

• Tap into 250 investment professionals in 14 countries.  Each of them has in-depth knowledge of the local business community and specializes in one or more industry sectors.

• Work with leading industrialists.  We can introduce you to highly-capable and experienced entrepreneurs, who advise and work with our portfolio companies.

• Access the world’s biggest companies.  We have close relationships at all levels with many leading multinationals, who take a keen interest in innovative businesses.

Our partnership approach is individual and personal.  It starts during the due diligence process, as we prepare to invest, and continues through our equity participation right up to the eventual exit.  At every stage, we aim to help you create a healthy, successful business.
