Mercia's investment team has sector expertise and financial experience

Mercia brings together industry specialists and investment expertise from an investment team that has a strong track record. From seed through to exit, Mercia is well placed to deploy a full range of capital (its ‘Complete Capital Solution’) to build valuable businesses with global potential. Initially this is done using a range of debt, venture or growth capital from its managed fund subsidiaries, Mercia Fund Managers, which it can then selectively scale using the balance sheet of Mercia Technologies PLC.
