Comhar Capital

Comhar Capital is a growth capital investment firm established in 2018 by Neil Armstrong and Craig Wilkinson. It provides direct capital investment to forward-thinking, growth-oriented owner-managed businesses, supporting companies through their next stages of development, including growth and operational development. The firm describes its approach as combining capital with practical business support, delivered hand-in-hand with the people who run the businesses it invests in.

The firm's offering rests on two elements: direct capital investment and hands-on support aimed at improving a company's outlook, opportunities and prospects for growth. Comhar works alongside business owners rather than at a distance, a posture reflected in its name, which means 'partnership' in Gaelic. The firm states that it takes investment decisions seriously and recognises that business owners have a great deal at stake.

Comhar Capital's stated sector interests span both industrial and technology-enabled businesses. Discussed verticals include furniture manufacturing, ecommerce retail, spirits, construction-related services and business intelligence software. The firm positions itself as a growth and development capital provider for owner-managed companies rather than an early-stage or venture investor, and the founding partners remain Neil Armstrong and Craig Wilkinson.
