Now that we are talking about the team, let us have a look at who the owners are and how wealthy they are.
After taking over the team a few seasons ago, Bolton, who was promoted from League Two; has emerged as a formidable challenger in League One. The club was saved from liquidation after an offer of £10 million was made to take it out of administration.
Who are the owners and investors of the Bolton Wanderers?
The Horwich, Greater Manchester, England-based team which competes in League One has been owned by Football Ventures (Whites) Ltd (92%) and British Business Bank (8%) since 2019 and the team’s chairman is Sharon Brittan. Michael James and Nicholas Luckock, the other board directors are also investors.
Net worth of Football Ventures which owns the Bolton Wanderers
According to CompanyCheck, Football Ventures had a net worth of only £3,783 as of the previous year. Furthermore, the assets of the current ownership were valued at £4,837,537 at that time, and their cash levels for that year were £1,561,807 as well.
A report by the Bolton News last year stated that Football turnover was just over £8.5 million, up over 62% from the previous season when Covid was a factor, referring to the release of the financial accounts for the year ending June 2022. Following their promotion from League Two, expenses escalated as Evatt added strength to a team that placed ninth in their third-tier comeback.
The club’s combined net worth is reportedly the third highest following Barnsley and Blackpool in the league with $60M currently.
