Investment thesis

Comhar Capital (pronounced 'core') is a Leeds-based independent direct capital investment business founded in 2018 by Neil Armstrong and Craig Wilkinson. Named after the Gaelic word for 'partnership', the firm focuses on providing direct capital investment for UK SMEs run by forward-thinking, growth-orientated owner-managers. Comhar takes minority and majority equity stakes and works hands-on alongside management teams — joining boards and actively supporting strategic, operational and international growth. The firm is sector-agnostic, with a portfolio spanning B2B SaaS/analytics software, consumer e-commerce, construction technology, and beverages/spirits.
