Investment thesis

Rcapital is the leading carve-out and special situations investor to the UK mid-market, targeting established businesses (£10m–£350m turnover) with up to £50m of investment (core £2m–£25m). The firm focuses on transforming and growing businesses by seeing potential in complex situations — including carve-outs of non-core subsidiaries, turnarounds, difficult shareholder dynamics, and management exits — deploying its own capital alongside commercial expertise and hands-on operational support. As Jamie Constable, Co-Founder, states: "We structure straightforward deals to resolve complex situations. Our ambition is always to work alongside management teams to grow value so that everyone involved can share in success."

My time at Rcapital has been fast moving, challenging but exhilarating. We work closely with a range of trusted advisors and partners to focus on the key issues, building relationships with the management, before investing our own money. We really can execute in a matter of days.

The sale of STI marks the culmination of a complex but highly rewarding turnaround. It further demonstrates Rcapital's ability to deliver corporate carve-outs and accomplish successful business transformations. The business is exceptionally well positioned, with a strong team, blue-chip customers, and attractive market opportunities.
