About
What we believe and do
£90bn
Focusing on the UK’s £90bn annual private credit market for early-stage to growth stage companies.
Anthony David King Capital exists on a simple belief: capital should serve people, communities, and businesses, not the other way around.
We believe when time and capital are stewarded wisely, business growth should provide founders with a greater retention of ownership. And therefore, our capital focus is non-dilutive private credit for innovative companies to invest in people, technology and growth.
Our long-term ambition is to become a renowned capital institution, serving companies using innovation for the greatest benefit to society and the world, and a growing network of financial institutions for generations to come.

Technology and AIFrom AI to enterprise software and automation. A new generation of tech companies are emerging to build new infrastructure for our everyday lives.
While early-stage angel investment and later venture capital remains essential to new technologies, it often comes at the significant cost of dilution even if early commercial growth is emerging.
This creates a new opportunity for alternative capital such as private credit for the investment required to scale new technologies.
£64bn UK market
Financial Services The rise of embedded finance, open banking, and programmable money is reshaping how families, and businesses interact with financial services.
Some newer financial services companies have a slower growth and revenue profile that doesn’t always fit traditional venture capital models, or angel investment appetite.
This provides an opportunity for alternative capital, such as private credit, required for building the next generation of financial services.
£400bn+ UK market
Family and WellbeingAdvances in health and longevity, food and nutrition, fitness and sport, family, and education are reshaping people’s everyday lives.
Venture capital investors often prioritise fast and high growth metrics, while bank lenders often require terms that don’t fit businesses with unconventional business models.
This creates a new opportunity for alternative capital, such as private credit, for the unique kind of investment required to help a new generation of businesses our world needs.
£224bn UK market
Creative EconomyOpportunities and challenges from AI, artist creativity, live events, and digital fan engagement provide exciting new infrastructures for capital.
Yet much of the UK creative industry suffers from a shortage of risk capital from angel investors, and misalignments in the expected outcomes and market understanding from venture funds.
This provides the opportunity for alternative capital, such as private credit for the unique kind of investment that companies such as music, the arts, and live performance in the UK needs.
