Each business we partner with will typically have:

• An enterprise value in the range of $50m-$1.5bn

• A management team of proven ability

• A distinct position in the market and clear prospects for growth

There are several ways in which businesses use our investment funding and executive resources, including:

• Supporting growth - often by entering new geographies, building production capacity or making  strategic acquisitions,

• Restructuring shareholdings – to pass the business from one generation to the next, enabling the departure of a major shareholder or preparing it for a public listing,

• Providing liquidity – where owners can unlock the equity they have built up over time by exchanging a portion of  shareholding for cash while allowing them to remain a significant shareholder,

• Changing the balance of debt and equity -  to pursue market opportunities that might otherwise be unobtainable because of high levels of borrowing.

We invest from our own balance sheet.  This enables us to invest for the longer term and adapt to changes in the  business and market dynamics when required.  Each investment we make will have a clear value-growth plan and a mutually agreed upon exit strategy.
