Our investment criteria

We are firmly committed to investing in small and medium-sized businesses which form the engine-room of the UK economy, where entrepreneurialism and ambition thrive.

We ensure we finance each business with the optimum balance between risk and reward, seeking a financial return generated from the earnings growth in the business rather than excessive leverage.
