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.
