About Us

Whateley Capital Investments

Whateley Capital Investments is an independent private investment company based in the UK.  We primarily operate in the Professional & Financial Services sector and acquire successful businesses in the lower-mid market.  We look for established and profitable companies with growth opportunities that we can add to our Investment portfolio. 

What’s Different About Us?

• We have a genuine interest in the professional & financial services sector and are striving to build a successful portfolio of complementary businesses
• We’ve worked with businesses of all sizes from micro start-ups to multi-nationals
• We have a wealth of experience in business across many sectors and have been helping companies get to the next level of performance for over 20 years as consultants – now we want to use that experience to grow our own portfolio!
• We are discreet, keep information shared with us in the strictest confidence and act with honesty and integrity
• We act with empathy and respect, recognising that for you this is a very big deal
• We treat every opportunity on an individual basis, recognising that everyone and every situation is different
• As independent private investors we can make decisions quickly and act decisively – we don’t have shareholders to placate
• As business owners ourselves we have admiration and respect for the achievements and success of others
• We will take the time to get to know you and understand your personal circumstances and what you are trying to achieve 
• For the right business we can build a deal that works for everyone

What We Are Not 

• We are not a ‘We buy any Business’ type of company, we don’t try to buy any old business at a knock down price.  We prefer to pay a fair price for a good business in our chosen sector that we have carefully evaluated and know we can grow and develop to the next level
• We are not judgmental – we know what it takes to start and run a business – in our careers we’ve gone through good times and bad, whilst we can’t pretend to know exactly how you feel we’ve probably been through something similar ourselves
• We are not corporate investors – we don’t have a large board of directors or shareholders to satisfy, who are mostly interested in financial rewards and dividends.  This makes us more agile and able to make quick decisions
• We are not asset strippers, we genuinely look to nurture and grow our businesses, just as you have done.
