Turning public ambition
into investment
Beyond what grants can fund
Net zero, housing and regeneration ambitions outstrip the grants available. We shape them into propositions institutional capital will fund, so delivery is not capped by the public purse.
Stands up to Treasury and the market
Every proposition is built to the Green Book Five Case Model, so the same case satisfies your cabinet and an investor's due diligence.
Fluent in both languages
We move between local government and institutional capital without anything getting lost in translation.
Capability and capacity now
Few authorities have an in-house investment team across the specialisms needed, and cannot match investment-sector salaries to recruit one. We help them scale capability and delivery rapidly.
Three services,
one continuum
From a strategy on paper to capital at work in the places that need it.
Translate
Whether you start from a strategy, plan or prospectus, we embed capability and capacity in your organisation to translate it into investable, blended-finance propositions.
Prepare
Investment readiness is a significant barrier to attracting capital. We get an authority's own projects investment-ready, or run a dedicated, thematically focused service that builds a pipeline of investable projects across the wider local ecosystem.
Deliver
We partner with place-based investors and fund managers, providing due diligence, deployment and post-investment management.
From ambition to delivered impact
The work that needs doing now is building investment-ready pipelines of place-based impact, and connecting them to the right capital.
The opportunity, in numbers
There is no shortage of ambition or capital. The work that is missing sits in between, and that is the work we do.
