NEBULAR HOLDINGS LIMITED

What NEBULAR HOLDINGS LIMITED does

Nebular Holdings Limited, trading as Nebular Group, is a UK-based private holding company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Stockport, United Kingdom. The company owns and backs technology businesses operating across two regulated verticals: WealthTech (wealth management technology) and MedTech (healthcare technology). Nebular deploys shared capital, platform infrastructure, and in-house engineering capabilities across its portfolio, deliberately targeting sectors where regulation, trust, and infrastructure create high barriers to entry — characteristics the company explicitly cites as defining its strategy.

The group's portfolio comprises five brands serving 157,000+ end-customers. In WealthTech, wholly-owned brands include The Digital Group SIPP (a workplace pension and Self-Invested Personal Pension platform with full FSCS protection serving 27,000 members), The Children's ISA (a specialist Junior ISA platform with 115,000+ children invested), and AdviserCloud (an adviser SaaS and cloud workspace for financial advisers). In MedTech, wholly-owned Wood ITC provides managed services and specialist care-sector hosting on Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 infrastructure, while Qualis operates as a 30%-backed care platform venture.

Nebular generates revenue through a mix of recurring SaaS subscriptions (AdviserCloud, Digital Wealth Systems), platform and transaction-related fees on consumer savings and pension products (The Children's ISA, The Digital Group SIPP), and managed services contracts (Wood ITC). Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for adviser SaaS, direct-to-consumer self-serve onboarding for retail brands, and direct B2B engagement for MedTech clients. The holding group itself actively pursues growth through founder backing conversations, co-investment, brand acquisitions, and group-level investment outreach, with all current operations domestic to the United Kingdom.
