Transaction Structures
We look to invest €15-150 million over the life of an investment (typically 5-7 years). We take minority and majority positions and can structure transactions with a mix of equity and debt so as to provide a less dilutive funding solution than traditional private equity buy-out firms. As entrepreneurs and former operators ourselves, we take a more management friendly approach and ensure alignment with the teams we partner with.
Investment criteria
Proven concepts with at least 10 sites and revenues up to €250 million.
