Investment thesis

Primary Capital partners with talented management teams to build outstanding B2B businesses in the services and technology sectors, whilst delivering exceptional returns for investors. The firm seeks both niche market leaders and challengers able to disrupt the market in which they operate, investing in UK-headquartered growth companies valued between £20 million and £100 million and deploying up to £50 million per deal. Primary's approach has remained consistent since inception: seeking opportunities where interests are fully aligned with management teams, and providing hands-on support across strategic acquisitions, international growth, team and talent development, product innovation, data/AI analytics, and digital transformation — bringing much more than just money.
