Duke Capital Limited has completed a fundraising
December 2024 — Duke Capital Limited has completed a successful fundraise, securing US$29.8 million (£23.5 million) through a placing and retail offer on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM). This milestone will further enable Duke Capital to continue its innovative approach to alternative financing solutions for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across the UK and Europe.
Duke Capital delivers hybrid capital solutions to SME business owners in the UK, Europe and North America, combining the best features of both equity and debt. Since 2017, Duke Capital has provided unique long-term financing which eliminates refinancing risk and the need for a short-term exit. This is achieved through a distinctive “corporate mortgage,” while also aligning its returns to grow with the success of the business.
