Helping move established companies forward.

Leath Ventures helps sound companies move into their next stage of ownership while keeping the qualities that made them succeed. We believe patient capital and careful governance raise the long-term value of a business for everyone who holds a stake in it.

We look to partner with owners and managers who understand their markets in depth.

We founded Leath Ventures in London in 2021 as a boutique private equity house. Experience has shown us that the groundwork of the first months of an investment shapes much of what comes after. We bring capital and hands-on support to management teams who intend to build something durable.

How a transaction unfolds

  1. Opening discussion

    Every transaction starts with a confidential conversation, held on a no-obligation basis. You can speak openly about the business and tell us what you want a sale or investment to deliver.

  2. Understanding the business

    Our team reviews the information you share and meets the people who run the company day to day. Together we agree headline terms early, so both sides know where they stand before committing further time or cost.

  3. Due diligence

    Leath Ventures runs a focused, proportionate diligence process alongside experienced advisers. Your company keeps trading as usual while that work moves forward.

  4. Completion and the next chapter

    We complete on the terms that both parties have agreed. After that, we stay alongside you as the company moves into its next phase of growth.

Partnering with intermediaries

Leath Ventures places real value on its relationships with lawyers, accountants, brokers, investment networks and corporate finance houses. If you act for a business that matches our criteria, we welcome the introduction and will give you a clear, prompt response.
