Business Services

Specialized skill requirements and equipment, tight labor markets, increasing cost pressures, and growing demand for outsourcing of non-core services present attractive growth opportunities for companies that can help others optimize their operations. Moreover, the digitalization of businesses across all sectors is increasing the need for specialist service providers. All of these themes are represented in our portfolio, which includes companies providing education programming, testing & inspection services, aircraft maintenance services, and commercial insurance brokerage.
