Strategas Private Equity is the sister company of Strategas Management Consultants that started life as Carpe Diem Consultants in 2001, a boutique management consultancy after its founder had decided to leave a permanent role within the investment banking arena and focus on a more holistic approach to consultancy. At the time, it specialised in improving financial planning and analysis for large organisations boasting high profile clients such as Orange and MPSGI.

By 2006 Strategas Management Consultants had taken on a small and niche team of consultants focusing predominantly in the turnaround and restructuring fields with a specific emphasis on MIS, reporting, conducting reviews to advise on operational efficiencies and organisational transformation work. During this period, clients included the FTSE 100 giant Rentokil-Initial.

In 2008 in recognition of the financial markets crises the company began to focus more on the private equity markets specialising in M&A, restructuring, refinancing and cashflow management. PE clients include 3i, August Equity, Duke Street Capital, Exponent Private Equity, Lloyds Development Capital, Perwyn, Wyelands Capital and Close Brothers Private Equity.

Over the last few years the company has sought to leverage its relationships with suppliers and its growing network of professional companies and in addition to its core consultancy services, now offers a range of complimentary services including:-

- Business Process Outsourcing to match clients looking to reduce costs by using BPO services from the Indian subcontinent;

- Assisting UK clients in overseas market entry as well as overseas clients into the UK;

- NED services through its network of highly skilled and experienced consultants covering a wide range of industries and disciplines;

- Both permanent and interim recruitment solutions with highly competitive rates;

Since early in 2015, Strategas Private Equity was formed to take advantage of the growing market for small businesses to raise funding where not only do we have the opportunity to invest in these early stage businesses but where we also have the opportunity to add value to their management team through our own considerable experience and that of our vast network of highly skilled NEDs, Consultants and other associates.

Directors are now active Angel investors in over 100 organisations ranging from start-ups to companies with several million pound revenues and that have been trading for several years. Alongside this initiative we hope to leverage some of our private equity contacts as well as high net worth contacts to offer higher amounts of funding as well as mentoring and advisory services via our considerable combined networks.

We are intentionally a small firm as that allows us to offer personal care and attention to each of our portfolio companies so if you would like to learn more about how Strategas Private Equity can help your organisation flourish in the 21st century please email us at info@strategas.co.uk to submit a query and we will come back to you as soon as possible.
