Our partnership ethos underlies all the work we do with SMEs and entrepreneurs of growing UK-based businesses.

We tailor each investment strategy to meet the needs
of the business and its people – after devoting significant time in really getting to know and understand our portfolio companies. We look for future potential - and often, we build relationships with bright entrepreneurs years before we make an investment deal.

Our investment doesn't end with a capital injection. And we understand what it takes to grow a business - through organic development, acquisition, or both - may change over time.

We sell great businesses. Everything we do - investing in infrastructure and people, building the strategy, strengthening the management team - enhances the value of the business to ensure future growth potential. That's how we command great prices at exit.  

With offices across the UK in London, Birmingham and Manchester, we have teams on the ground locally who can provide support to our portfolio companies on a daily basis.

Investment Criteria
We offer both capital injection and strategic support
to profitable SMEs that have ambitious management
teams, scalable business models and strong potential for market leadership.

The businesses we invest in are normally based in the UK (but may have international operations), valued at between £5m and £75m and seeking capital in the range of £2m to £30m. We work across a wide range of business sectors.

People
When it comes to successful private equity deals, it is the people who make all the difference, and ISIS people come from a wide range of backgrounds with a complementary mix of skill sets. What they do have in common is a shared sense of ambition, a questioning nature and an open-minded, flexible and friendly approach to working with every business and the people within them.

Investor Relations
ISIS invests funds on behalf of both institutional (ISIS LPs) and retail (Baronsmead VCTs) clients.
