VC firms
Abercross provides growth equity and buyout capital to profitable, UK-based businesses. We are independent, FCA regulated, and enable international family offices and institutions gain exposure to private UK investment opportunities.
We support UK businesses with patient capital and strategic capabilities enabling them to meet their growth ambitions; and provide our investors attractive, income generating private equity investment opportunities managed in a risk-conscious way.
+ For our investee companies: bespoke, patient, aligned, and supportive capital, flexibility on structure, strategic capabilities and an international network for UK companies with growth ambitions beyond the UK.
+ For our investors: multi-sector, largely proprietary deal flow, transparent engagement, income generating investments with a capital preserving base case, a focus on growth and operational improvements rather than financial engineering, strong institutional infrastructure and regulatory oversight, and an aligned incentive structure.
We deal fairly with all stakeholders and seek to build lasting relationships; and, we make timely, informed, and robust decisions to the benefit of both our investors and potential investee companies.
Investment approach:
Market: focused on the private UK mid and lower-mid cap market (i.e. privately owned companies with enterprise value of up to £150m)
Sectors: flexible but with a preference for the consumer, education, healthcare, and business services sectors. We do not invest in real estate, start-ups, or turnarounds
Growth: track record and growth potential and a business plan that can be readily implemented
Structure: able to take minority or majority positions
Management: motivated and aligned management teams with relevant skills and a strong track record
Duration: patient capital with a flexible investment horizon
Deal sizes: between £10-50m of equity, but we are flexible in case of exceptional opportunities
Returns: we look for investments that can be income generating and have significant upside potential; balanced with a focus on capital preservation and effective risk management.
