Inverleith LLP is a sector specialised, lower mid-cap private equity fund that invests into consumer brand businesses that operate within the high growth categories of health & wellness, lifestyle, drinks, luxury and heritage brands, in companies headquartered in the UK and Europe.
Inverleith acquires majority or strategic minority stakes in businesses through its Fund. The Fund focuses on businesses with revenues of between £5m – £30m and a target investment level of between £5m – £15m.
Inverleith targets businesses which have a product USP or strong defendable market position, have the opportunity to become an internationally scalable brand and where the founders / management are receptive to a collaborative investment approach with Inverleith.
Inverleith’s point of difference is the ability to add both professional investment and strong operational expertise into businesses. With many of the team having worked operationally in consumer brand companies across both the FMCG and premium / luxury brand sectors, we know (and have lived!) the challenges faced by companies and brands, understand the strategic levers to drive growth and have the experience and global networks to support businesses in the areas where they need to focus.
Inverleith works closely and collaboratively with companies to build a joint 3 – 5 year business plan and to scale the company for successful exit. We’re hands-on in our approach, taking an active involvement in our investment companies, not only through Board positions, but also by working closely with the executive team senior management to drive initiatives and projects forward where support is required.
