Deal type
- Secondary buyout

Wealth of knowledge
In September 2013, Equiom partnered with LDC in a secondary buyout, with LDC backing the management team with the capital it needed to support its continued growth and acquisition plan.
The management team chose to work with LDC due to the team’s reliable support and experience in the financial services sector.
Our relationship with LDC has strengthened in conjunction with the international expansion of Equiom Group. The team at LDC has been incredibly supportive throughout and they have delivered on everything they promised and more.”Sheila Dean, Executive Chair

Sheila Dean discusses how LDC has supported Equiom’s international buy and build growth strategy
A score of acquisitions
Since our original investment, Equiom pursued an ambitious buy and build growth strategy. Backed by more than £22m of follow-on funding from LDC, the management team acquired more than 20 companies, significantly increasing its international footprint.
The partnership between LDC and Equiom led to a 500 per cent increase in revenues since LDC’s original investment in 2013.
Continuing growth
In May 2019, Värde Partners invested in Equiom as a long-term equity partner, to help fund future expansion in line with the company’s growth strategy, with LDC retaining a minority shareholding.
In July 2020 Equiom acquired Borean Corporate & Financial Services BV, a trust and corporate services provider based in the Netherlands. The move marks the first step in a broader strategy for Equiom to increase its provision of services for asset managers in Tier 1 jurisdictions.
