Experienced team
Over the years, Bank of Scotland has made direct equity investments into a variety of businesses, from small technology companies to the largest public companies. The experience of our team is put to good use when helping companies throughout the UK to achieve their acquisitive or organic expansion goals.
A different approach
Our Growth Capital team makes investments directly from the Bank's balance sheet, not from a fund, so we have the flexibility to work with management teams to facilitate an exit at the right time for the business. We do not interfere in the day-to-day operations of the business, but maintain an active interest in the progress of our investments, in order to build market-leading organisations. Customers also benefit from the strength of our brand and the credibility it brings to their business.
