Helping create value is at the heart of our Investment Strategy

We want to make a difference to the companies we invest in. Building value is the core focus of everything we do. We are an active and supportive investor – utilising our proven Value Creation Toolkit alongside our experience to help our management teams to deliver ambitious growth plans.

Sales & Marketing

From the outset we look to invest in the sales and marketing functions through a ‘results driven’ methodology. Building sales momentum and illustrating strong organic growth on exit is key to maximising value.

Product & Service Extension

We have significant experience in accelerating product development. Launching a new range of features or services will often enhance the business proposition creating value arbitrage.

Automation & Efficiency

We help our businesses to scale efficiently by automating services and workflows, typically through the use of the latest technology – allowing them to grow exponentially without the need for significant growth in overheads.

International Expansion

Where there is an opportunity and it's right for the business to pursue international growth, we help our management teams to choose the right markets, identify overseas acquisitions and create the right team to deliver this strategy.

Buy & Build

We have significant experience in the execution of buy and build strategies. We help teams identify, negotiate, fund and integrate acquisitions – it’s a key part of our experience and our business.

Exit & Planning Strategy

We have years of experience in understanding the value drivers of a business. We start with a simple question– what do we all want the business to look like in 3-5 years’ time?

Entrepreneurs run their businesses efficiently. We are focused on helping them to build and create software to automate areas within their businesses – allowing them to scale further without the need for significant growth in overheads.

International Expansion

Not every business wants or needs an international strategy. However, where there is an opportunity and it is right for the business to pursue international growth, we help management choose the right markets, identify overseas acquisitions, and create the right team to deliver on this strategy.
