Umbra Capital Partners is a modern private merchant bank founded in 2018, focused on advising, improving, and investing in UK-based SMEs, primarily in the lower mid-market. The firm operates across three pillars — Advisory, Capital, and Wealth — and invests private capital across the capital structure in both debt and equity, often rolling fees into equity to ensure full alignment with clients and founders. Umbra is backed by families and long-term investors, and its co-investment network allows family offices, institutional investors, and entrepreneurs to participate in proprietary transactions alongside the firm.
