What is the Investments Solution?

ScaleX™ Investments offer a comprehensive package of equity finance tailored to the unique needs of each business. In addition to financial backing, we provide expertise and guidance through our experienced investments team, ensuring that companies not only secure the necessary funding but also leverage it effectively to achieve their scaling goals.

This holistic approach is further reinforced by our close collaboration with the ScaleX™ Accelerator program, facilitating seamless integration between financing and scaling efforts

WHO IS IT FOR

For ambitious leaders who are poised to scale.

ScaleX™ Investments caters to a distinct segment of businesses identified in the ScaleUp Institute 2022 Business Landscape report which noted that ‘finance and access to growth capital remains a challenge for scaleups, as their third key priority after access to markets and talent’.

Our solution is tailored to ambitious leaders who are poised for scaling, particularly those who have already established a solid footing in their core markets and exhibit high growth potential. While we remain sector agnostic, we prioritise companies with a clear vision for expansion and a readiness to seize opportunities for scaling.
