Driving Innovation in the Tech Sector

The UK technology sector continues to be one of the most active and successful in the world. Ambitious management teams in the sector are seizing new opportunities for growth in a dynamic and fast-moving market – something that private equity can unlock.

A private equity partnership can support a range of growth strategies – including international expansion, new product development, scaling organic growth through sales and marketing, and buy and build.

LDC has a successful track record of investment in the technology sector, investing over £717m in the last decade, with a diverse range of 20 businesses in the current technology portfolio. In the same time period, LDC has generated average returns of 3.6x across its exited technology investments.

LDC has a long and successful track record of investment in the technology sector, working in partnership with fast-growing businesses across FinTech, EdTech, PropTech, Human Capital Management and a wide spectrum of tech-enabled services.

The key to the success of any private equity investment is partnership. We’re proud to partner with ambitious management teams from all corners of the UK to help them accelerate the growth of their businesses.

The technology sector has many brilliant and driven business leaders who can identify market opportunities and deliver products or services to address client needs. We seek out ambitious leaders with a track record of success and an openness to working in partnership.

Every LDC investment is different and driven by the needs of the businesses we partner with. Our funding source is unique, and as part of Lloyds Banking Group, we can create a different type of private equity partnership – we’re not tied to fundraising cycles.

Whether a longer-term investment, or a partnership that benefits from an exit in the short-term, we back management teams to help them to increase the value of their businesses by growing revenue, EBITDA and headcount.
