How We Invest

We invest in three main ways.

1.     Capital Investment – Using a cash injection from the Marches Business Group to benefit a business in return for equity in the company.

 

2.     People Investment – Investing in a person based on their potential, giving them training and a role within the Marches Business Group to benefit both parties.

 

3.     Time Investment – The experience and talents of existing team members within our group can be used to benefit other businesses, assessing strategy, finances, and accessing our wider network of resources.

 

The reason behind all three investment models is to help us achieve our main aim; happiness, development and success for everyone involved in our business group.
