London Lions — Investor Profile

Women's · Super League Basketball

Not an audit. Compiled from AI-assisted deep research cross-referencing Companies House and Charity Commission filings for SLB women's clubs and Liverpool Basketball (source doc dated 2026-09-14). Figures marked "audited" are from real statutory filings; others are undisclosed or estimated — not an independent audit.

Turnover: £350,000–£600,000 estimated women’s budget (down from peak EuroCup Women spending)
Net equity: New statutory filings under Tesonet ownership remain pending

Legal entity

London Lions Group Limited (12484391) — restructured August 2024

Owner / backer

Tesonet Global (Lithuanian tech holding company, also 25% shareholder of EuroLeague club BC Žalgiris Kaunas); acquired via an administration sale after the 777 Partners collapse

Ownership concentration

Concentrated — Tesonet control, aligned with Žalgiris Kaunas management (club president Lenz Balan).

Venue

Copper Box Arena, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park — commercial anchor tenancy with operator GLL ("Better").

Venue risk

Tenant-dependent, the same high-rent exposure the men’s team carries.

Risk classification

“Under prior ownership (777 Partners) the club ran multi-million-pound annual deficits; Žalgiris Group issued an emergency bridge loan and secured a floating charge in July 2024 to avert a winding-up petition ahead of the Tesonet restructuring.”

Notes

The 777 Partners collapse forced an August 2024 administration sale (insolvency practitioners Hudson Weir); roster spending was reduced toward sustainability post-acquisition.
