A coordinated five-year strategy from inception to capital event, designed to build the UK's most powerful independent payments network.

The Journey to 2030

2024

Inception

Valtura concept established
Technology & operating platform development

2025

Incubation

First founding payment company joins the cohort
Platform model tested and refined
European structure established for future scaling

2026–2028

Scaling Phase

Payment companies join the founder cohort
Network gross profit grows toward £40m
Central operations, reporting, and infrastructure mature
Executive team and governance board established
Founding payment company consolidated

2029

Consolidation Phase

All cohort payment companies consolidate into NewCo
FPUs convert into equity for payment company founders
Staff participation formalised (EMI/options/LTIP)
NewCo becomes the UK's largest independent payments network
All Platform only partners remain independent

2030

Capital Event

Each payment company founder receives:

2× protected value floor realised
Contribution-weighted share of the Founder Pool
Team participation from the Staff Pool
PE expansion expected

Subject to eligibility and final legal/tax structuring at consolidation. Final equity structure (EMI, options, or LTIP) will be determined based on professional advice at that time.

Phase Two: 2030–2035

After the 2030 capital event, founders have a clear choice for the next chapter.

☀

Sunrise Option: Continue the Journey

Remain part of the Phase Two growth strategy
Participate in the next scale cycle and future value creation
Retain equity and help drive expansion into new verticals and regions

☾

Sunset Option: A Clean, Full Departure

Your equity is fully liquidated as part of the 2030 event
No further obligations, commitments, or involvement
You step away with complete clarity and finality
