BUY AND
BUILD

Although not all of our investee business are acquisitive, we often look for business operating within highly fragmented markets with the opportunity to accelerate growth through targeted M&A.

Many of our portfolio companies receive follow-on funding from Rockpool to make bolt-on acquisitions. In 2022 Rockpool portfolio companies completed 10 acquisitions.

GROWTH CAPITAL

We have a proven track record of taking businesses from £1m to over £7m EBITDA and look to create value for our investors and grow businesses through a variety of strategies.

MANAGEMENT BUYOUT (MBO)

For an owner, it is often a wish to retire or unlock part of their wealth, whilst handing over ownership to the next generation of management. This can provide management with an exciting opportunity to gain ownership of a business they have helped grow.

For most teams a MBO is uncharted territory, Rockpool help provide the team with the support and infrastructure around them to drive growth in shareholder value.

EQUITY RELEASE

We offer equity release deal structures which allows management teams to de-risk their personal financial position whilst bringing on a supportive equity partner to drive growth initiatives in the business forwards.
