Investment Criteria
LGV has a number of criteria which it looks for when considering investments:
Size
We typically invest in companies with an enterprise value of £50-300 million, with LGV making an equity investment of £20-100 million.
Geography
We only invest in companies which are headquartered in either the UK or Ireland.
Business characteristics
We look for mature, profitable businesses with established track records and defensible market positions (no start-ups or early-stage companies). We are keen to support experienced management teams who are looking to exploit further the market potential of their business.
Sector focus
LGV focuses on three sectors: consumer, leisure and services (including healthcare).
Our approach
We seek to lead only 3 or 4 deals each year.
We adopt a more flexible approach to our funding structures than many of our competitors and we have a particular focus on working with strategic partners. Many of our deals have involved investing alongside trade partners or the founders of businesses, often with LGV as a minority shareholder.
We are keen to support our management teams in making strategic acquisitions.
Please contact us if you feel
you have a business opportunity which fits the above criteria.
