A Permanent home for great businesses.
We are entrepreneurs looking to acquire, or invest in, great businesses.
With no intention of selling these great businesses, sellers can be sure they have found the right place for the next phase of their legacy.

Our Unique Approach
We invest permanent capital (we are not a fund) and therefore we are in no rush to sell. Ever.This allows us to take our time and reinvest in growth. Compounding at its best. As opposed to buy, strip, and flip.In addition, our deep bench of operating partners assist exceptional entrepreneurs and managers to use this permanent capital to foster sustainable growth.Criteria:Enduringly profitable: Companies with a strong brand, defensible moat, and strong historical cash flows.Company size: Our sweet spot is £0.5 to £2M in EBITDA. Our operating partners like to roll up their sleeves and support strong, existing management.Control: We prefer majority investments but we will consider minority stakes, and co- investments alongside other exciting entrepreneurs.
