Investment Objective

The Committed Capital Growth EIS represents a compelling opportunity to invest in high growth UK based technology companies across a range of industry sectors.

Our primary objective is to achieve a target ROI of 2-3x (excluding tax reliefs) for investors from high quality investments; through the careful selection of potential investee companies, excellence in corporate finance skills and active support of portfolio companies.

Our investment methodology is based on the principle of unlocking and accelerating profitable growth in portfolio companies. In analysing potential investee businesses, we look for rapid growth in the underlying market as well as a technology and business designed to benefit from this growth. Investee companies must have a compelling proposition, be fully formed and have strong management. We are attracted by companies poised to grow rapidly with the infusion of equity and expertise. These factors are established during exhaustive due diligence.We believe our rigorous due diligence process as a corporate finance house, has resulted in our returns to date of 2.4x ROI (excluding tax relief).

Investments are selected when the following criteria are met:

• Dynamic Market – fast growing addressable market with low competitive intensity.
• Well-Positioned Company – strong management team, robust forecasts for rapid growth over the investment period and clear potential for exit.
• In-Demand Product – (or service) fully developed, addressing a clear market need, with a sustainable technology-based competitive advantage.
• Post Revenue – generating significant sales (£1m+ annually).
• Investor Protections – significant minority (20-40%) of the equity typically sought, a board seat and typical shareholder rights required.

Exit Strategy

The intention is to exit within 3 to 5 years of monies being invested via trade sale, IPO, or where appropriate, a sale to a strategic co-investor. Typically exit is through a trade sale or strategic sale.

Since 2001 the team have achieved an average 2.4x ROI (excluding any tax reliefs) with an average holding period of 4 years. The team have invested in 33 investee companies, and made 19 exits and 2 partial exits of which 20 have been profitable and just 1 has made a partial loss.
