Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
London & Scottish Investment Partners is a Scottish-based angel group supported by investors from London and Scotland, established in 2014. Its aim is to add expertise, experience, and funds alongside hands-on management support and a fresh strategic business plan, creating a compelling growth and value accelerator for SMEs — taking them to the next level. LSIP targets established businesses (ideally trading for 2–3 years, solvent, with existing revenue) rather than start-ups, focusing on sectors including life sciences, technology, oil and gas, food and drink, and manufacturing, with a clear focus on releasing shareholder value within a 3–4 year exit horizon. LSIP is a member of LINC, the Scottish Angel Network, and co-invests alongside the Scottish Co-Investment Fund.
Notable quotes
“The core aim of London and Scottish Investment Partners is to create more entrepreneurial wealth by helping SMEs in Scotland flourish and move on to the next level, whether that is enhancing their share of a local market or globalising their business. We believe we offer a fresh and unique approach as we are investing in established businesses rather than start ups, which are already serviced through several other investment channels.”
“Planning for the uncertainty of what will happen in the next twelve months, and surviving long enough for certainty to emerge, which may be some time, have been crucial parts of the work that London & Scottish Investment Partners have recently been undertaking with our portfolio companies. We are pleasantly surprised and impressed that our companies have shown resilience and enterprise to ensure they will come out the other end of this crisis.”
