Minority investment for maximum growth
Maximise value, while taking on less risk
Minority funding allows business owners to maximise the value of their businesses while taking on less risk, retaining control and gaining flexible funding and support for growth.
We work with ambitious and entrepreneurial management teams to speed up growth. Over the years we have built up a team of experts in-house as well as a network that can help the businesses we back to grow faster.
Minority investment is a true alternative to selling
Many entrepreneurs are passionate about their businesses, and the thought of ceding control to someone else is often repellent. Many founders, especially now, whether for personal or professional reasons, are thinking: They anticipate the challenges of the current market environment and may be contemplating entering new geographies or markets, or acquiring companies.
S500 Capital Management has a fund specifically designed to invest in minority businesses. The Partnership Capital fund provides entrepreneurs and management teams with the same growth acceleration levers that are available to other parts of the firm’s portfolio.
“Minority investment is a true alternative to selling; it allows a founder to retain control whilst getting the capital and expertise to help support the business’s next level of growth.”
