Turnaround and rescue investment
When a company is experiencing financial distress, the ability to quickly understand the issues and secure financial aid is crucial to a successful turnaround. Whilst the turnaround industry in the UK has improved considerably over recent years, there is still a lack of capital available for businesses facing potential insolvency and even though the UK now has many turnaround 'specialists', few are willing to commute their own money or are able to move quickly.
RCapital is one of the most active and successful players in the turnaround market today. Working with a dedicated team of specialists in the banking, legal and accountancy professions, we can move immediately to assess and action corporate restructuring deals against tight timelines. RCapital works closely with management, existing debt providers and shareholders to bring the best resolution to the company's difficulties.
RCapital provides funding from £500,000 to £20m and can put facilities in place within a matter of days. In addition, our management teams can be quickly drafted into the business to work with the existing management.
Growth investment
RCapital provides private equity finance for its portfolio companies to realise growth opportunities.
RCapital's objective is to create and maximise value in the business. We achieve this through speed and flexibility of funding as well as strategic input. Working closely with the business, RCapital offers the highest level of expertise and experience in developing and managing the demands of a successful growth strategy and as a key investor, helps to build the infrastructure to support growth.
RCapital has the flexibility to inject funds quickly and to structure investment specifically to suit the individual business needs.
"Differing stages of business growth require different skills and few businesses are equipped to deal effectively with these demands. We believe in backing quality management teams and developing their skill sets to successfully manage growth"
“RCapital hit the headlines with their turnaround of Little Chef, aided by an adept use of the media. We ranked Jamie Constable at 18th in Business XL’s Power Top 50 list (up from 31st last year) which is a recognition of the influence he wields in the world of growth companies. Nevertheless, RCapital has clearly taken a cautious approach towards opportunities in the recession, rather than going in all guns blazing, which ought to serve them well in a range of different economic outcomes.”
