With a focus mainly on leisure and retail, Union Ventures is dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs and management teams looking to significantly expand their companies and capitalize on the evolving market opportunities. They define the consumer sector as the direct sale of products and/or services to the end consumer, a focus that equips them with profound insights and a unique perspective on the trends, opportunities, and challenges within the space. They take a flexible approach in their investments, seeking to invest directly or alongside partners, with a cap of £3 million per deal. Taking either minority or majority stakes, they are open to various types of investments such as growth capital, management buy-outs, buy-ins, and cash-out investments.

With the consumer sector rapidly changing, Union Ventures lends its expertise to help businesses navigate these shifts and emerge as leaders in their respective fields.
