Back to resultsBUSINESS GROWTH FUND


The Business Growth Fund works to support established companies with strong growth potential and turnover in

the range of £5m to £100m.

The investment provided is in the form of equity capital.

The minimum equity stake in any business will be 10% and the duration of the investment is flexible; typically from 2 to 10 years.


The Business Growth Fund will:


• invest around £2 million to £10 million in return for an equity stake in the business and two seats on the board;

• invest in established UK companies that can demonstrate a strong growth trajectory;

• have enough capital and resources at hand to move very quickly to the right opportunities;

• offer longer-term funding over five to seven years or more; investing off its own balance sheet;

• develop a partnership approach with investee businesses agreeing shared goals and objectives from the outset;

• look for businesses with evidence of a strong track record and demonstrable growth potential;

• carry out targeted due diligence in a cost-effective and timely manner and consider investment opportunities

and business in all sectors apart from financial services and real estate.
