Mercia Debt
Mercia Debt combines the power of two specialist platforms to deliver targeted lending solutions across three key verticals: SME loans, property development finance and growth capital.
Frontier Development Capital (FDC)
FDC specialises in growth capital and property development finance, including managing the MEIF II – West Midlands Debt Fund. It backs SMEs through acquisitions, MBOs and shareholder changes, funds both commercial and residential regional developments and offers flexible scale-up lending.
Mercia Private Equity
Our private equity strategy targets established, profitable UK SMEs with enterprise values typically below £20m. We provide growth capital alongside strategic, operational and governance support to help these businesses scale through organic expansion, acquisition, and leadership transformation.
This is a disciplined, lower-mid-market strategy aimed at institutional investors and family offices seeking meaningful economic impact with attractive, potential returns.
