About us
Freshstream was launched in September 2015. The firm is focused on mid-market investments and looks to invest between €30m and €100m of equity per investment in growth businesses across a wide variety of sectors, with a particular geographic focus on the UK and Benelux markets. Freshstream seeks to acquire majority equity stakes in the companies in which it invests, although it also has the flexibility to invest across their entire capital structures, including in debt and debt-like instruments. Freshstream is focused principally on relationship based, bilateral transactions, being comfortable with highly complicated situations and taking a generally conservative approach to leverage. Although the business is sector-agnostic, looking at each potential investment on its merits, the team has significant prior experience in industries such as healthcare, general manufacturing, financial services, aerospace, branded retail, chemicals, building products and TMT.

Congratulations Bella Figura Music team on this milestone acquisition!
We are thrilled to announce that Bella Figura Music has acquired RAK Publishing! RAK publishes an extensive and varied catalogue of over 1500 copyrights, spanning over 50 years and including classic songs by legendary artists such as Hot Chocolate, Suzi Quatro, Steve Harley, Kim Wilde, Joan Jett and many more. Founded in 1969 by the legendary record producer Mickie Most and his wife Christina, RAK now represents over a hundred writers including the Ivor Novello Winner Errol Brown, BASCA Gold Badge recipients Steve Harley and Suzi Quatro, and writer duo Marty Wilde and Ricky Wilde. Nathalie Hayes, MD of RAK Group of Companies, said “My parents started RAK Publishing 55 years ago. I grew up knowing so many of the RAK writers as they were often on holiday with us! It has been an absolute honour to look after such an amazing catalogue for the last 26 years. I am so happy that the Bella Figura Music team are taking the reins as they share the ethos of being boutique and I know that they will take great care of such wonderful songs”. Alexi Cory-Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of Bella Figura Music, said “’I’ve been a fan of the RAK catalogue for many years. I have loved these songs and artists since I was a kid. I was mesmerised by Errol Brown when I watched Hot Chocolate on Top of the Pops as a young girl – people don’t appreciate how groundbreaking and important a band they were and still are; but we have plans for that - and I just wanted to be Kim Wilde – I got suspended from school for cutting off and peroxiding my hair to look like hers (I was about 13), when “Kids in America” came out. RAK is a British music icon and it’s no exaggeration to say that this deal ranks among the proudest achievements of my career. I pinch myself every day realising Bella Figura is now part of it, and we will work our socks off to look after and promote their amazing legacy.”
