## About <!--about-->
BC Partners Holdings Limited is a Guernsey company at Trafalgar Court, Les Banques, St Peter Port, entered in the island's Limited Companies Register as number 29682 on 30 June 1995, the year the principals of Baring Capital Investors completed their spin-out from Barings.[^gleifbcph][^wikibc] GLEIF names it the ultimate parent of BC Partners LLP, the London firm that manages the BC Partners private equity and private credit funds.[^gleifup]

Springer Nature's 2025 corporate governance statement says the general partner of the funds that hold the BC Partners stake in Springer Nature is owned and controlled by BC Partners Holdings Limited, and the voting-rights list in the 2025 group management report names it among the indirect shareholders of Springer Nature alongside BC Partners Group Holdings Limited, CIE Management IX Limited and the Guernsey partnerships BC Partners Galileo (1) L.P. and BC Partners Galileo Holding L.P.[^sncg25][^snar25] GLEIF gives this company as the direct parent of BC Partners Group Holdings Limited, Guernsey number 66552, which therefore sits below it.[^gleifgrp] Its own GLEIF entry reports no parent LEI in either the direct or the ultimate position, on the stated ground that a parent does not prepare consolidated financial statements.[^gleifexc]
