Partnering in Healthcare
​STARTS WITH US
About Us
​​​Shorefox Partners is a partner to small and medium sized Healthcare businesses in the UK and Ireland where our support, expertise and resources can accelerate a company to the next level of growth.
​​​​We seek majority ownership, with the vendor retaining the remaining stake, thereby allowing for a true partnership model. Our objective thereafter is to actively work with management teams to leverage our experience by identifying and implementing initiatives that increase value for all stakeholders.
​​
Such a customised partnership allows the vendor to benefit from future growth, while also providing a potential solution for those addressing succession challenges.​​​​
Partnering Criteria
We see a huge industry tailwind opportunity and believe the coming years will witness a significant increase in demand for medtech, healthcare services and life sciences, with small businesses serving as the backbone and beneficiaries.​
