Beechbrook Capital

Founded in 2008, Beechbrook is one of the most experienced and successful European private debt managers with over €1.4 billion raised across nine funds and two distinct strategies. We provide tailored private debt (and small allocation of equity co-investments) to performing lower mid-market businesses in northern and western Europe (UK & Ireland, Nordics, Benelux, DACH and Poland). We fill a funding gap faced by SMEs as traditional bank lending has retrenched, leveraging our extensive relationships with private equity firms, corporate finance houses and banks, helping us to originate strong deal flow and high-quality investment opportunities. Beechbrook supports growth strategies, acquisitions and private equity buy-outs, focusing on businesses with enterprise values of between €10m to €150m in the following sectors: business services, media and telecoms, industrials, healthcare and consumer & leisure. We typically invest €5m to €25m per transaction and have made over 100 investments in the European lower mid-market. Our investors include leading institutional investors, family offices, HNWIs, British Business Bank Investment Limited and the European Investment Fund. Beechbrook is currently investing two funds with distinct strategies- European Private Debt Funds: providing senior debt to private equity-owned companies across northern Europe - UK SME Credit Funds: providing bespoke financing to owner-managed and family-owned companies across the UK.
