Progression Capital is an investment firm evolving from its roots as a search fund into a dynamic private equity platform. We’re focused on acquiring and scaling high-quality businesses with strong leadership, enduring brands, and long-term growth potential.
Our approach is simple: buy great companies, keep what makes them special, and help them grow. We partner with founders and management teams to provide strategic guidance, operational support, and the capital needed to reach the next level—without losing the essence of what made the business successful in the first place.
We understand that selling a business is more than just a transaction for the founder(s), therefore once acquired, we will deliver long-term growth by joining in the day-to-day management of the business, nurturing its values, core strengths, and further maximising its potential through expansion, increased efficiencies, digital transformation and any other means necessary.
Progression Capital is sector-agnostic but disciplined. We target businesses with over £1 million in annual EBITDA, margins above 15%, positive cash flow, and ideally, strong recurring or repeat revenue. We’re particularly drawn to founder-led or retirement-driven sales where continuity and culture matter.
We’re not turnaround specialists—we invest in stability, scalability, and sustained performance. Our buy-and-build strategy focuses on retaining talent and brand equity while driving organic and strategic
Our advisers and investors have decades of leadership and investment experience in a variety of industries. They have a track record of adding exceptional value to businesses globally.
