Later Stage / Buy-out

Later stage businesses face particular challenges and opportunities. We have invested in over 200 businesses through the later stages of their development, providing funding for MBOs, MBIs and growth capital.

We back  ambitious management teams with clear growth plans to transform existing businesses through a change of ownership or through an injection of growth capital.

We are an active partner to the management teams we support, providing additional rounds of funding and strategic advice to help those businesses as they rapidly grow and transform.

For investments of up to £8 million, contact us to find out more.

“During my last two ventures I developed a strong relationship with YFM. Both parties have a mutual understanding of how and where we see the business propositions going, even when times get incredibly tough YFM can still be relied upon and I hope to work with them again in the future.” Richard Beaton, Deep-Secure

"The additional capital from YFM will be used to expand Darwin Rhodes' unique model, organically and through acquisition, to other industries and geographies. We have a track record of successful expansion during all stages of the economic cycle and our board and investors are confident that Darwin Rhodes Group will continue to build on this success over the coming years."
Peter Dunphy, Darwin Rhodes Group
