Every business is different
We take the time to get to know the companies we invest in and the management teams we back. We often invest for a minority shareholding alongside founders and business leaders to provide additional growth capital, flexibility and support so you can take your business to the next level.
From day one, it was clear that LDC is an investment partner that backs management teams and supports their strategy, which is exactly how we want to work.”
A patient approach
The initial investment is just the start of our partnership and we know that growth doesn’t always come in a straight-line and plans need to evolve to adapt to market conditions.
With £100m available to each company we invest in, we can back further expansion with follow-on funding.
We have provided funding for business growth in a range of different sectors. This includes the UK’s leading network of sales and letting agents Lomond, where we supported the business to complete 65 acquisitions, the full-service digital marketing company Croud, which invested heavily in technology and grew internationally and provider of professional pensions trusteeship and governance services IGG, which grew revenues and headcount by more than 300%.
Each company’s growth opportunities are different and we shape our approach accordingly. Whether it’s making acquisitions, launching new products, building new manufacturing facilities, breaking into new sectors or expanding overseas, we take a supportive and long-term view.
