Funding Support can be required for a variety of reasons. Whilst the high street and challenger banks will accommodate certain levels of debtor based funding, their appetite for risk is relatively low within our sector. Therefore specialist Private Equity funds such as IPE Ventures step in to facilitate such transactions. Typically we buy shares in the business, thus providing the required funds. We are investors rather than operators, our aim to align with all shareholders and motivate ‘Management’ with schemes that allow them to share in the wealth creation of the business.

Management Buy Out

We can provide funding to support you and your management team to buy your business from the current owners. Why should you not share in the rewards of its success?

Working with you and your team to acquire a majority stake, whilst providing the help and expertise to minimise risk and safeguard capital value.

Equity Release

We can offer founders and shareholders the opportunity to sell some of their shares, whilst they continue to run the business as before.

IPE’s investment allows shareholders to de-risk, releasing some of the value tied up in the business. Alternatively, it provides a means to buy out a departing or retiring shareholder wanting liquidity.

Business Recovery

In recent times we have seen plenty of business challenges with Brexit, IR35 and now Corvid-19. Sadly, it is common place in our sector for good businesses to struggle raising finance when the banks choose to adopt a cautious fiscal policy.

Shareholders are offered the opportunity to sell shares to provide IPE with an interest in the business, whilst IPE provides additional Recovery facilities.

Growth Capital

Additional capital can be required for many reasons when businesses are looking to grow. External investment is often a popular choice if rapid growth is desired and limited appetite from traditional banking or shareholder reserves.

We welcome organic and acquisitive growth strategy opportunities.
