Investment thesis
YFM Equity Partners backs ambitious, innovative UK small businesses with growth capital and ownership-transition funding. It invests £3m–£15m into companies to support faster growth (recruiting, product development, overseas expansion), ideally seeking at least £1m of sales in the last 12 months, with follow-on capacity. It also funds ownership-change transactions such as management buyouts, equity release and acquisitions, ideally for businesses with at least £1m of profits. Operating for over 40 years, YFM offers a hands-on, strategically focused approach that provides more than capital — including expertise, strategic support and a global network. Its vehicles include the British Smaller Companies VCTs for early-stage high-growth firms and Buyout Funds for established businesses.
