SMEs at a pivotal stage of their development are being offered a new funding source by a business investment syndicate.

Scotland-based Kelvin Capital has launched The Kelvin Capital Catalyst Fund focused on investing into established, ebitda-positive UK businesses making succession, ownership transition or expansion plans.

The new platform will target mature SME companies with stable, recurring revenue profiles, across a range of situations including retirement-driven exits, shareholder restructurings, bolt-on acquisitions and growth capital requirements.

Since 2009 Kelvin Capital has invested more than £150 million in early-stage companies. Stuart McKee, chairman, said: “We are now looking to build on that track record in different sectors.

“Our investment model combines strategic capital with the support of experienced non-executive directors and operating executives who bring proven expertise in deal execution, operational improvement and value creation.”

The Kelvin Capital Catalyst Fund is structured to offer bespoke deal solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all control model.

Transaction structures may include full cash exits, deferred consideration arrangements or partial equity rollovers to retain management alignment.
