Over the past 15 years, the LBO team at Rosenfelder Finance has earned a reputation for delivering strong financial outcomes while driving long-term strategic value across its investments.
Our Approach
Creating Enduring Value Through Trusted Partnerships
At Rosenfelder Finance, we focus on primary and majority investments in leveraged buyouts, targeting small to mid-sized UK businesses with enterprise values ranging from £25 million to £215 million. Our strategy centers on forming genuine, long-term partnerships with company leadership, built on mutual respect and shared ambition. Working closely with management, we help chart the path for growth, transformation, and value creation, ensuring alignment every step of the way.
Investment Philosophy
Driving Growth by Understanding the End Customer
We believe real competitive advantage begins with a clear understanding of customer needs. By using detailed, data-driven analysis, we help our portfolio companies uncover meaningful insights that refine their value proposition and improve their ability to respond to shifting market conditions. In our view, many UK SMEs and mid-sized firms underuse this approach, making it a powerful lever for long-term growth and strategic distinction.
Our Investment Cycle
Hands-On Sector Knowledge, Real-World Impact
Our team brings broad sector knowledge, with a particular focus on consumer-facing and service-oriented industries across both B2B and B2C. From the outset, we help our partners strengthen executive leadership, explore strategic M&A, scale operational capacity, expand into new geographies, and integrate responsible business practices. When beneficial, we partner with trusted industry experts and co-investors to bring additional insight and amplify results, always with a long-term view on value creation and resilience.
