Strategic buy and build expertise
You know your market and likely potential acquisition targets – but in addition to the funding, the integration of other companies into your business and the transaction itself requires specialist M&A expertise.
With £100m available to each company we invest in, we provide follow-on funding to help your management team to make strategic business acquisitions happen. Our broader team can also provide extra support with integration.
When it came to the acquisitions, LDC provided a framework to facilitate the integration of these businesses, which was hugely beneficial. It can be daunting going into an acquisition for the first time, especially during a period of rapid growth, but LDC’s experience reassured us and really helped to accelerate our journey.”
Supporting you with growth equity
LDC’s support can prove pivotal in your growth journey as you build scale and gain market share.
The acquisitions our portfolio companies have made are helping them accelerate regional or international expansion, increase their scale or diversify their products and services. We have supported growth by acquisition for businesses from a diverse range of industries, including estate agency group Lomond, telecoms provider Onecom and preventative healthcare specialist PAM Group.
Buy and build is absolutely the best way to achieve a steeper curve on the growth. It would have taken a decade to achieve the same growth through an organic approach alone.”
