Private equity and strategic investment are two common routes for deploying capital into private companies.
Private equity
Typically involves acquiring significant stakes, actively improving the business and exiting after a defined period to realise returns.
Strategic investment
An investor, often a corporate, invests to gain commercial advantages—access to technology, markets or supply chains—alongside financial returns.
Which suits you?
It depends on your objectives, time horizon, desire for involvement and expertise in the sector.
