Investment Approach

Core invests both equity and mezzanine finance in smaller-middle market UK companies, typically with an enterprise value between £5 million and £30 million, which are both profitable and growing.

Our typical investment range is between £3 million and £8 million per transaction.

We invest in a wide range of sectors, focussing on working with strong management teams rather than in any particular transaction type. We therefore invest in:

Management Buyouts (MBO's)
Management Buyins (MBI's)
Development Capital
Recapitalisations
Acquisition Capital

Core is a supportive investor, managing a relatively small portfolio of investments at any given point. This allows us to be responsive to both new enquiries and existing portfolio companies alike. It also means we are able to offer management teams meaningful assistance in specific areas, such as:

Corporate Strategy
Acquisitions
International Expansion
Refinancing

Please feel free to contact us to discuss our investment approach further, or if you would like to speak with any of the Core team about an investment opportunity.
