Thursday, October 16th, 2025.- Baghdadi Capital, the global independent family office specialized in working capital, has completed a strategic investment in Teybridge Capital Europe, a specialist in working-capital solutions and trade finance. Following its recent investment in American Capital Financial Group (ACF), this new transaction further strengthens Baghdadi Capital’s international footprint — tripling its client base and accelerating geographic expansion in Ireland and the United Kingdom, while reinforcing its presence in the United States and along the principal commercial corridors between Spain and these countries. As part of the operation, Baghdadi Capital will join Teybridge Capital Europe’s board.
This investment forms part of Baghdadi Capital’s broader diversification strategy, which is designed to strengthen the Group’s position beyond Spain – its core market – where it already holds the largest book through its subsidiary, Trade & Working Capital. The strategy also focuses on establishing a consistent presence across key global trade corridors. Unlike most competitors, which remain local or only lightly represented outside their home markets, Baghdadi Capital is developing fully fledged entities in the U.S., Latin America, the U.K., Ireland, Southern and Central Europe, as well as Hong Kong and Singapore.
In addition to the equity share, Baghdadi Capital will facilitate an initial funding line of circa £50 million for Teybridge Capital Europe, with the intention of gradually increasing this to circa £500 million as the business evolves. Teybridge Capital Europe is projected to reach a valuation of over circa £100 million. All acquisitions are structured as cash-in only participations, with management teams retaining full autonomy over daily operations and risk assessment. This approach promotes decentralization, mitigates risk concentration and single-point vulnerabilities, and reinforces the financial position of each entity while contributing to the Group’s overall strength.
From an operational standpoint, Baghdadi Capital applies Group-wide quality standards and a four-eyes review process across all its entities, enhancing best practices in origination, credit underwriting and collections. Simultaneously, it invests in technology architecture to ensure decentralized technical resilience and more efficient cross-border servicing.
In this context, Teybridge Capital Europe brings nearly 1,000 debtors across 19 countries over the past two and a half years, while Baghdadi Capital through its different companies in the US and Spain managed almost 500 debtors only in the last fiscal year. Together, the platforms achieve greater granularity and resilience, reducing concentration risk and creating synergies to negotiate more efficient funding terms which opens the door to new securitization-like structures.
Founded in 2022 by Dylan Martin and Colm Devine, Teybridge Capital Europe has offices in London and Dublin. The UK market now represents 60% of Teybridge Capital Europe’s lending portfolio, providing lending facilities to UK SMEs and corporate clients in the food & beverage, technology, and manufacturing sectors.
Baghdadi Capital’s clients will now gain access to BRIDGE, Teybridge’s proprietary platform, for digital onboarding, operational management and near real-time funding. Over the past two and a half years, the platform has processed more than 12,500 transactions and funded approximately more than £400 million in trade finance and working capital loans, to more than 250 clients based in the UK, Ireland and the US. It has become a benchmark for faster and more transparent access to working capital.
“At Baghdadi Capital we are not simply investing in companies; we are shaping a global network of autonomous platforms – connected by shared standards and strengthened with capital. Our investment in Teybridge Capital Europe reflects this vision: building resilience, empowering local teams, and delivering truly complementary financing solutions that support cross border growth,” affirms, Baihas Baghdadi, Founder & Executive Chairman of Baghdadi Capital.
On the other hand, Dylan Martin, CEO of Teybridge Capital Europe, adds: “The investment from Baghdadi Capital supercharges our ability to serve SMEs and corporates across multiple regions. It expands our reach, strengthens our offering, and brings our BRIDGE platform to more businesses in need of fast, reliable access to working capital. With this funding, we can support a broader client base while preserving the agility and rigor that have always defined us. It’s a powerful step forward for our company.”
