RDCP operates as a holding company using the 'HoldCo model' - holding businesses indefinitely rather than focusing on exits. The firm emphasizes buying companies below intrinsic value through multiples arbitrage, maintaining strict acquisition criteria including consistent profitability, healthy EBITDA between £2-20 million, recurring revenue models, high barriers to entry, and simple business models.
