Growth Capital to Support Ambition

What is growth capital?

Whatever growth looks like for your business, private equity can help you expand and achieve your ambitions. LDC has supported businesses from a range of sectors over the past 40 years, and we’re ready to help you achieve sustainable and effective growth.

Growth capital can be used by businesses to support their expansion, whatever that means for them. This could mean expanding internationally, making business improvements, acquiring other companies or simply accelerating organic growth.

At LDC, we understand that every business’s growth journey 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 the flexibility and support so you can take your business to the next level.

Your growth capital partner

LDC have helped support the growth ambitions of a range of different businesses with the help of private equity.

We’ve helped companies grow through business acquisitions, such as Onecom, who we’ve supported in making four strategic acquisitions since backing the business in 2019. LDC have also supported businesses looking to expand internationally – including education technology specialist Texthelp – as well as ones seeking organic growth, such as Away Resorts.

Growth opportunities vary from company to company, and we shape our approach accordingly, always taking a supportive and long-term view.
