Business Growth Fund
Business Growth Fund is an independent company established by the UK’s largest banks, including Barclays, to help fast growing businesses by providing long-term growth capital.
BGF makes minority stake investments of £2m+ to UK businesses with a turnover of £5m - £100m. Every company is considered on its individual merits.
Solutions for your business
- Growth capital from BGF is long-term equity funding that a management team can use to execute their strategic plans
- It provides funding for a whole range of working capital and acquisition strategies where raising capital through full equity issuance would be too dilutive.
- Non-financial support is also offered, providing corporate governance over the long term.
How can the business growth fund support your business?
- Supports management teams with a good track record, a proven business model and a desire to grow.
- Can provide initial growth capital of £2m–£10m for a minority equity stake and a board seat, with potential for further funding as a company grows
- Long-term funding of up to 10 years, with follow-on investment, supported by a partnership based on shared goals and objectives.
- Investments are made in ordinary shares, loan notes or a combination. The BGF may consider an element of cash out to existing shareholders at the time of their investment
- With nine offices across the UK, the Business Growth Fund stays close to the businesses it invests in.
