Investment thesis

Soho Square Capital is a London-based investment firm focused on serving the financing needs of established and growing UK and European SMEs. The firm structures its investments typically in the form of senior or preferred capital with minority equity stakes, enabling change and driving growth while minimising equity dilution for founders and management teams who retain majority ownership. Soho Square is situationally rather than sector-focused, though it has a strong TMT offering, and invests up to £45 million per transaction across the capital structure from senior debt to equity. With over £350m AUM across three funds, the team works closely with business owners to provide bespoke, flexible capital solutions for growth, ownership change, or refinancing.

Notable quotes

We are typically investing £15m-£40m. We are much more situationally focused than sector focused and we're interested in the quality and dynamics of the teams we're backing.

Our solutions are more flexible than traditional credit financing while minimising the equity dilution for business owners that is a feature of traditional private equity.

We see ourselves as a stepping stone that gives businesses longer to create wealth with lower dilution.
