A national care provider based in Coventry has secured funding to support its growth strategy, including acquisitions. Swanton Care provides supported living and 24/7 residential care to individuals with complex needs including learning disabilities, autism and mental health issues.
The company, which is backed by European private equity firm Apposite Capital, has secured funding from Barings and NatWest, in a deal supported by FRP Corporate Finance.
The funding will enable Swanton Care to leverage its national footprint and expand its offering of social care services through continued organic growth, greenfield development and a buy and build growth strategy.
Apposite Capital engaged FRP Corporate Finance's debt advisory team, led by partner Tom Cox, director Umito Choji and associate director Rahool Patel, to assess Swanton Care’s funding requirements and negotiate an optimally priced funding solution with NatWest and Barings.
The funding package provides Swanton Care with additional capital to pursue complementary M&A deals, as well as enabling the firm to optimise existing facilities and offering the flexibility for it to target new opportunities for greenfield development.
Tom Cox, Debt Advisory Partner at FRP Corporate Finance, commented: "Swanton Care delivers a critical part of the UK's care system, and it was particularly rewarding to help it secure this financing to support its continued growth."
David Porter, Founding Partner at Apposite Capital, said: “With these enlarged facilities, Swanton is in an even stronger position to take the next steps on its ambitious plan for growth, which has already seen the business enhance occupancy levels, grow its estate and expand its geographic reach."
In the year ending December 31 2024, Swanton Care & Community Limited reported turnover of £98.3 million, up from £83.5 million a year earlier, while EBITDA increased from £12 million to approximately £14 million.
