About Andrew Busby

I am a founding partner of Aliter Capital LLP, a different type of private equity firm , aiming to support management teams drive the growth and value of their businesses in the support services sector. Along with my colleagues at Aliter, we aim to deliver upper quartile returns for the investors in our funds. Since its launch in 2017, Aliter has earned a reputation for investing in and building great mid-sized businesses. We offer decades of previous experience investing in and building support services companies. We know what works and what builds value and we know what can get in the way.๐€ ๐๐ข๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒItโ€™s especially important to the firm that we offer a different way of working with the management teams in our investments. We donโ€™t just turn up for board meetings every month to check the numbers. We aim to work alongside and be totally aligned with management teams; to drive growth and add value, sharing risks and rewards along the way. We donโ€™t believe in loading up balance sheets with unsustainable debt; we aim for a more balanced capital structure.๐‚๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐š๐›๐จ๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ From our offices in London, Manchester and Glasgow, we work with management teams to set a clear strategy.

That way, we can really devote time to working with and supporting management. Our investments are not just assets in a portfolio.

Only after that do we start to work on the deal.We are backed by a consortium of US and European institutions including pension funds, insurance companies, university endowments and charitable foundations; and our founding partners have also made a significant financial commitment to our funds.โ— ๐๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ž ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ž ๐ˆ ๐š๐ฆ ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ง๐ž๐œ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž ๐จ๐ง ๐‹๐ข๐ง๐ค๐ž๐๐ˆ๐ง ๐จ๐ง๐œ๐ž ๐ฐ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ ๐š๐ง ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ž๐ญ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐š๐ค. โ—
