Tosca Capital

Overview

Tosca Capital is a flexible investor delivering creative solutions for businesses at various stages of their lifecycle. They invest for the long term, with no pressure to exit, combining the long-term vision and operational expertise of a strategic buyer with the deal execution drive and capacity of a seasoned M&A team of a traditional financial buyer. Tosca Capital focuses on small to mid-cap leveraged buyouts (LBOs) valued between £1 million and £20 million, targeting established, cash-flow generative companies that could benefit from operational leverage, typically founder or manager owned, and seeks controlling stakes. They also engage in special situations, investing in businesses with revenues between £20 million and £200 million, aiming to improve top-line or profitability through operational leverage, including full carve-outs or controlling stakes alongside existing shareholders. Tosca Capital has a track record of active involvement in its subsidiaries, bringing value through operations and its network, nurturing and growing the companies it acquires, and respecting the history of the firms, managing a smooth transition of ownership. The team is dedicated, ready to act swiftly in transacting and operating, with a solid track record and strong values, emphasizing transparency, integrity, flexibility, and win-win transactions. Their subsidiaries include PCDS, GRS, and EPIC Media Group, with PCDS being a leading transport and logistics company serving the out-of-home advertising industry, acquired in 2019. Tosca Capital is focused on the U.K., France, and Germany but is open to opportunities in other countries from Continental Europe. They invest in industries such as Business Services, Specialty Industrials, Healthcare, Technology, Telecom, and Retail.
