Welcome to Octopus
We’re different because, unlike most private equity firms, we offer a range of financing options tailored to meet the specific needs of different UK smaller companies, whatever their size or stage of development. We provide innovative equity and mezzanine funding solutions from £0.5m to £8m for UK smaller companies.
Our success comes from seeing ourselves as your partner, helping you to grow your business and achieve your potential. We want Octopus to be the funding partner of choice for ambitious smaller companies.
