Having won two prizes at the recent Real Deals Private Equity Awards, AURELIUS' Founding Partner Dirk Markus spoke to Real Deals about how the global investor helps to build market leaders through operational transformation. Crucial to its success is AURELIUS’ Operations Advisory, comprised of more than 180 specialists that advise portfolio companies, help navigate their challenges and drive growth. A great example of the effectiveness of this approach is Distrelec, whose very successful exit in 2023 attracted one of the two Real Deals awards.

AURELIUS Finance Company, the Private Debt segment of AURELIUS, announces the completion of a £10m finance facility to support Pelican Capital’s acquisition of Finders International Probate Genealogists. “At AURELIUS Finance Company we have always sought to be the financing partner of choice for small and midcap private equity firms undertaking complex M&A-linked financings. This transaction, alongside our recent £18.5m financing of Trutex, reaffirms our strong capabilities in this area”, commented James Marler, Director and Head of New Business at AURELIUS Finance Company. The facility is structured as a £10m senior-secured RCF, which will deliver funding towards the purchase consideration, as well as provide ongoing working capital to drive growth. Availability under this highly bespoke facility is linked to the value of Finders’ working capital, which will create additional liquidity for the business as it grows.
