We’re built differently.
There is a better way to approach UK SME investing; an antidote to the traditional private equity model. Proven business leaders supporting today's business leaders.
Our Sector Leads and Functional Specialists have run multiple institutionally-backed businesses themselves. They’ve sat in the same shoes as our management teams, made the hard decisions, navigated difficult transitions and scaled for growth. We’ve built Ama to be the investment partner they wish they’d had.
Our investment focus.
Our leadership team has been involved in nearly 100 lower and mid-market transactions with a cumulative enterprise value of over £3 billion as either lead investor, CEO or Chair.
We provide up to £25 million of investment to support profitable UK SMEs in Financial & Professional Services, Business Services and Specialist Engineering & Industrials.
We can also look selectively at opportunities in other sectors, notably we have significant track record in B2C businesses, including e-commerce and experiential leisure.
What we stand for.
