BARROW ACTIVE INVESTCO LIMITED

Barrow Active Investco Limited is an Irish private‑equity firm that specialises in acquiring established, profitable SMEs with untapped growth potential. Founded in early 2020 by Morgan McElligott, the company focuses on providing owner‑operators with a smooth, cash‑rich exit while taking an active management role to drive the business forward. Barrow Active targets privately held Irish enterprises that lack a clear succession plan, offering flexible deal structures and an orderly transition for shareholders.

The firm’s investment criteria span a broad range of sectors—excluding retail, hospitality and construction—and look for opportunities to expand organically, enter new markets or grow through further acquisitions. Its first off‑market acquisition, Inpute Technologies Limited, illustrates Barrow Active’s hands‑on approach: after a focused due‑diligence process, the company secured a full cash exit for the retiring majority shareholder, retained senior management equity, and appointed an executive director and advisory board to accelerate Inpute’s growth in intelligent automation software and services.

Based in Dublin, Barrow Active is backed by a small group of seasoned private investors, senior industry executives and successful Irish businesspeople, all committed to nurturing the next generation of high‑performing Irish SMEs.
