Bain, a US private equity firm, is reported to have bought a vitamins business associated with a Dragon’s Den star. The acquisition follows an auction process initiated earlier this year by the Lalvani family, which owns the business. According to reporting, the deal is valued at about £900 million, though the exact figure has been described as reported rather than confirmed in the available summaries. The transaction reflects a sales process carried out by the Lalvani family, with interested parties invited to bid before a buyer was selected. The articles agree on the key elements of the announcement: Bain is the purchaser, the seller is tied to the Lalvani family’s vitamins business, and the process is conducted via an auction launched earlier in the year. Beyond the purchase and the reported valuation, the provided summaries do not include details on the transaction timetable, the business’s operations, or regulatory reviews. The reporting focuses primarily on the ownership change and the reported size of the deal.
