Our Investment Criteria

Baird Capital Partners Europe seeks control investments in small and medium sized companies in the U.K. with enterprise values ranging between £10m and £50m.  We seek to invest in profitable but undermanaged companies where the opportunity for improvement in performance exists through leveraging the global Baird operating platform.  We are attracted to businesses that have sustainable revenues derived from a strategic or niche market position, but face constraints to revenue growth, profitability improvements, and enhanced returns on capital that limit their development into larger companies.  Our sectors of interest include:

Manufactured Products Healthcare Business Services

General Industrials
Specialty Consumer
Automotive
Aerospace & Defense 
Building Materials 
Electrical Equipment 
Oil & Gas Equipment 

Healthcare Products 
Healthcare Services

Human Capital Services 
Transaction Processing 
Process Outsourcing 
Professional & Technical Services 
Facilities Management 
Environmental and Waste 
Marketing Services


We invest in companies that meet the following criteria:

  • Annual turnover of between £10m and £100m
  • Total deal size between £10m and £50m
  • An equity requirement of between £5m and £20m

While larger U.K. companies are well integrated into the global marketplace and have the resources to take advantage of international opportunities, smaller U.K. companies face significant challenges in capitalizing on these fundamental business trends.  Our global operating resources, particularly in China and India, allow our portfolio companies to access additional revenue growth and cost reduction opportunities that can directly build shareholder value.
