Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Palatine Private Equity sees private equity as a force for good, believing that doing well and doing the right thing can co-exist. The firm invests in established, profitable, predominantly regional UK companies in the lower mid-market, focusing on three core sectors: business services, technology, and financial services. Their approach centers on investing in people and relationships, backing businesses with clear M&A strategies, identifying opportunities for operational improvement, and applying a sustainability lens to every investment. The firm operates two funds: a Buyout Fund investing £10m-£50m and an Impact Fund investing £5m-£30m in companies tackling major societal issues such as education and job inequalities, access to healthcare, and climate change. Palatine's investment strategy is underpinned by three key pillars: relationships, value enhancement, and sustainability, with over 75% of their portfolio having made acquisitions or pursued roll-out strategies.
Notable quotes
“Doing the right thing means looking after all stakeholders in a business. The management team are very important to us, but so are the employees, customers, suppliers, and the wider environment in which they operate.”
“Our people and culture are our greatest asset at Palatine so it's great to see James, Tom, Greg and Connor rising through the ranks across all three fund strategies. 2025 was a milestone year for Palatine as we raised our biggest-ever Buyout fund, completed several new investments, executed multiple portfolio bolt-on deals and several successful exits.”
“Techspert represents the kind of innovative, high-growth company we are passionate about investing in with our Growth Credit Fund. Our ability to fund headcount growth, which traditional lenders often avoid as it can reduce short-term profitability before driving future revenue generation, makes us the perfect partner to support the team at Techspert achieve its goals.”
