At Rockpool, we believe that private companies offer investors great value, potential for enhanced returns and diversification for traditional investment portfolios. Powerful tax reliefs for estate and tax planning are also key benefits. Our mission is to help investors invest directly in private companies without the need to do all the hard work themselves or to rely on the limited information offered by crowdfunding sites. Our service offers the professionalism of a traditional private equity firm with the flexibility to choose the companies you want to invest in. Since 2011 we have invested over £745m into a diverse range of UK private companies. We invest in development capital, management buy-out and equity release opportunities across all sectors.
