Quoted

Growth capital for small cap quoted companies

How we’re different

BGF is one of the UK’s largest long-term investors in small and micro-cap quoted businesses. We have a unique proposition that few investment partners can match, including an evergreen capital base that’s not exposed to funding redemptions.

Patience

We’re long-term investors that value good growth over quick wins, giving you the opportunity to realise your full potential.

Confidence

We can provide the cornerstone investment you need to reduce fundraising and execution risk for IPOs.

Flexibility

We offer a variety of funding structures, to best suit the needs of your business, alongside significant follow-on funding for new growth opportunities.

Reach

Our portfolio spans every region of the UK and Ireland, as do our contacts. We provide access to a wide network of sector specialists, plus expert local support.

Growth funding

We provide quoted businesses (both smaller main market companies and those listed on AIM) with an initial investment of £2m-£20m, with significant follow-on funding available for further growth opportunities.

This investment is intended to accelerate your growth plans, including funding M&A, new product development, recruitment and training, or international expansion. We can also provide liquidity through secondary investments.
