WestBridge

WestBridge invests in business-to-business (B2B) companies operating in growing niches. Companies are ideally making between £2m and £6m of profit and have ambitious enfranchised management teams. They invest in UK small cap buyouts and lower mid-market businesses with the potential to grow rapidly and dominate their niche or exploit new opportunities that will lead to growth.

WestBridge is an independent private equity house that invests in UK small cap buyouts and lower mid-market companies. They are currently investing their second fund, WestBridge II, which comprises over £140m of committed capital and earmarked co-investment monies. They invest between £10 million and £25 million in profitable, successful and fast-growing companies. Typically, these companies will have enterprise values of between £15 million and £60 million and profits of £2 million to £6 million.

WestBridge is currently providing capital and management expertise to an increasing number of successful companies. They help create value by delivering sector insight, experience and influence to open doors.

Their investors include British Business Investments, European Investment Fund, South Yorkshire Pension Authority, West Yorkshire Pension Authority, Kempen, Tribus Capital Partners and a number of family offices and industrialist high net worth investors.

The Senior management team all have a passion for investing in and supporting management to grow lower mid-market companies, and each has invested significant amounts in WestBridge managed funds.
