Impact Futures and The Childcare Company, a provider of apprenticeships and commercial training programmes to customers in licence-to-practice healthcare end markets, has secured new funding for its organic and acquisitive growth plans.
August Equity has invested in the company alongside the existing management team. This represents the first institutional capital investment that the company has received and the funding will be used to pursue organic growth opportunities in its core end markets, as well as targeted M&A activity as the firm seeks to build scale.
