We have advised August Equity-backed Impact Futures Group on a refinancing to raise term, ancillary and committed acquisition facilities. 

Impact Futures Group is a leading UK training provider specialising in apprenticeships and commercial training to the healthcare, social care, childcare, and education markets. Through its portfolio of market-leading brands, the Group delivers high-quality, vocational training designed to support learners, employers and communities in critical service sectors across the UK. 

The refinancing follows a period of strong growth driven by strategic acquisitions, including Captiva Learning and The Health & Safety Group. These transactions have broadened the Group’s apprenticeship offering across the education and schools market, as well as expanding its existing mandatory and clinical training provision. 

Our Debt Advisory team supported Impact Futures Group and its shareholders in delivering a refinancing that provides the Group with a flexible and scalable capital structure, aligned with its strategic ambitions. The new facilities position the business to integrate recent acquisitions, continue investing in its training platform and pursue further acquisitive and organic growth opportunities.

This refinancing marks an important milestone for Impact Futures Group as it continues to scale its platform and enhance its impact across the sectors it serves.
