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."
