Seneca Equity Investment
Our equity funding spans a wide variety of situations across many different sectors. Whether this capital is deployed from Seneca’s own EIS and VCT funds, or is brought together using our co-investment partners, depends on the size and circumstances of each opportunity.
We are a sector-agnostic investor and we seek to deploy in the range of £0.5 million-£3 million per transaction. To date we have invested more than £130 million into more than 100 SMEs, which has provided capital to support growth ambitions, IPOs, management buy outs/buy-ins, retirement sales and corporate acquisition strategies.
The Seneca team has significant experience working with entrepreneurs and SME teams both as sole or lead investor or in combination with external co-investment parties.
