We back service-led businesses with strong growth potential, particularly in recruitment, professional services, and real estate. We look for ambitious founders building scalable models with recurring revenue and long-term market relevance.
We invest across a range of stages — from early traction to established firms looking to scale or prepare for exit. If you’re at an inflection point and need strategic, operational, or financial support to unlock growth, we’d love to talk.
Not at all. While our headquarters are in London, we partner with businesses across Europe, the U.S., the Middle East, and Australasia. What matters most is the strength of your model and your ambition to scale.
We go beyond capital. Our team provides hands-on support across brand, operations, finance, talent, and market expansion. You’ll work directly with seasoned operators, including James Caan CBE, who’ve scaled businesses from the ground up.
We take an active and collaborative approach — providing strategic guidance while respecting your vision. You stay in the driving seat; we’re here to accelerate progress and help you avoid common pitfalls.
It typically starts with an initial conversation to understand your business and goals. If there’s alignment, we move quickly to deeper diligence, a tailored investment proposal, and clear next steps — often within weeks, not months.
A clear view of your business model, current performance, and growth plan is key. We’re looking for founders with a compelling story, data to support it, and the ambition to build something remarkable.
Yes. Whether you’re aiming to sell, merge, or step back from day-to-day operations, we bring deep experience in exit planning and value creation. From positioning your business for sale to navigating negotiations and due diligence, we help ensure your hard work translates into a successful and rewarding outcome.
"“The HB team supported us from day one — not just with capital, but with the kind of foundational guidance that made all the difference.
From cash flow planning and recruitment to professionalising our board packs and metrics, they helped us build as if we were already a much bigger business. That mindset has been a huge part of our success."
"Being part of the HB portfolio has truly allowed us to launch quickly and focus on the key parts of the job, generating clients and candidates and hiring the key people.
The burden of on setting up an LLC, HR, accounting, technology, and building commission schemes would’ve taken so much of my time from building the operation part of the business."
"I'd created a great brand and
strong platform to create a market leader.
But to scale the business I needed to bring in better systems and funding. I needed people around me who've been there and done it. I knew most businesses that achieve this, have strategic investment partners that add value beyond funding.
I'd considered several other routes and had offers on the table.
HB's track record of growing businesses from start-ups to 8-figure exits made them an obvious choice."
"I’d spent years building teams for others,
but I’d never done it for myself.
The opportunity came seven years ago to start a business from scratch with investment from Hamilton Bradshaw and I’m so pleased we did — I wish I’d done it 10 years earlier."
