Investment

Are you looking for a long-term partner who can offer strategic support, regular mentoring and an injection of cash into your small business? We are always looking for exciting investment opportunities.

What do we offer?

We build long-lasting relationships with our clients based on trust, impact and a shared passion for their businesses. Sometimes, business owners might be looking for a deeper level of engagement with us, alongside a financial investment, to take their business to the next level.

We have our own small investment fund and typically invest between £7,500 to £15,000 for a share of the equity. Alongside the financial investment, we also provide our time and expertise as growth mentors without a charge in the first year, working directly with you to grow your business and providing an additional £10,800 of support.

If you are looking for an investment of above £15,000, we have access to a group of like-minded investors who are happy to join us on an exciting project.
