Why partner with us
We partner with businesses seeking growth or exit, providing hands-on investment and strategic support for success
We recognise the oft-faced dilemma founders and businesses face as they move through the value creation steps, when considering raising capital to grow or moving towards a full exit.
As hands-on investors, we invest and partner with businesses at the point they are considering the need for third party capital or exit, working to achieve further growth before exiting.
Founder journey value creation steps
We partner with owners to maximise returns for every shareholder. No business is the same and each requires different levels of effort across core business segments
Where there is no management succession plan, we work to install hungry and motivated c-suite executives, coaching them to improve and work towards a full exit. These could be first time C-suite executives or those with ambitions to grow into these roles
For each business, we develop a bespoke value creation plan, managing the investment through the board to deliver a combination of value creation pillars covering but not limited to:
Environment and sustainability
Business decarbonisation
Implementation of latest ESG reporting
Maximising value from ESG
