Value proposition

Trusted with Ambition TM

For over 40 years, LDC has been the trusted investment partner for ambitious management teams.

Part of Lloyds Banking Group, our experience, scale, and relationship-based approach have helped hundreds of management teams across the UK to grow their businesses, their way.

Since 2012, the businesses we’ve supported have grown four times more than the national average, increasing in value by a cumulative £7bn.

We offer strategic support, challenge when necessary and provide flexible growth capital as either minority or majority shareholders. This means we can help management teams to deliver a range of different growth strategies – including making acquisitions, investing in operations or sales and marketing, broadening products and services, or expanding overseas.

With a national network of 10 offices, our teams live and work right across the UK. By combining local relationships with national scale, we’re able to build trusted relationships from day one.

Our experience has seen us invest in companies across more than 50 sub-sectors, supporting the whole of the UK economy, through good times and bad.
