Our approach

Owner control

We do not interfere in day-to-day operations run by management and instead serve as active board members, applying our deep experience of guiding companies through the various stages of growth.

Adding value

The companies we invest in have access to our extensive network of contacts, developed in our targeted industries over the past 20 years. We use these resources to assist companies recruiting additional management and board members, to offer valuable market intelligence, and to present strategic business opportunities to companies including mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures when appropriate. 

We also use Rothschild’s unparalleled financial advisory expertise to help our portfolio companies navigate the complex paths of public offerings, debt financings, and mergers and acquisitions.

Flexible investment structure

Our investment structure is determined by the business’ needs. Whether the goal is to buy or sell a company, diversify net worth by selling equity ownership, or raise capital to fund business growth, we help our partners to determine the most beneficial capital structure. This includes:

• providing capital to expand sales and marketing efforts, finance working capital, invest in new products or markets, or make acquisitions

• giving liquidity to successful entrepreneurs or other shareholders by purchasing a portion of their stock, and so providing an alternative to a full sale or early public offering

• offering leveraged recapitalisation transactions to entrepreneurs who want to realise some of the value of their companies while also participating in further upside. Strategies designed by R Capital Management usually help management to retain majority control of the company and can even increase management’s ownership percentage

• actively supporting management and minority shareholders in their efforts to buy a company or division from its owner/parent.
