What is growth capital?
Growth capital also known as development capital is business growth funding that 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.
Whatever growth looks like for your business, private equity can help you expand and achieve your ambitions.
LDC – a business growth capital partner
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.
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 as you remain in the driving seat.
The initial investment is just the start of our partnership and we know that growth doesn’t always come in a straight-line and plans need to evolve to adapt to market conditions. With £100m available to each company we invest in, we can back further expansion with follow-on funding. We’ve helped hundreds of companies grow through business acquisitions, international expansion and organic growth.
Each company’s growth opportunities are different and we shape our approach accordingly. Whether it’s making acquisitions, launching new products, building new manufacturing facilities, breaking into new sectors or expanding overseas, we take a supportive and long-term view.
