Lucena Capital

Lucena Capital is a search fund looking to acquire a UK SME and manage it for the long term. Founded by Ben Suquet, our mission is to provide a solution to passionate owners seeking to complete their journey with a successful succession. We target established businesses generating over £750k EBITDA with a proven track record of profitability and a committed team of 20+ employees. Ben’s 20-year private equity and business career has led him to personally invest in and manage a family-owned business, establish a start-up and support several entrepreneurs and managers through two recessions. Lucena Capital is the realisation of Ben’s long-term aspiration to dedicate his full time and attention to his own entrepreneurial journey. Lucena’s proposition is anchored in Ben’s personal commitment to business owners to take a managerial role and work with their team towards the continued success of the business. Ben will have skin in the game and invest his own capital. Unconstrained by external capital requirements, Lucena takes a long term view. The combination of entrepreneurial experience, hands-on investing and extensive global network will give owners confidence that they are placing their business in good hands. If you want to sell your business, feel free to contact Ben: ben@lucena.capital
