Bidtimes' ultimate goal is to invest in and provide advice to growing companies in the UK. Diminishing earnings and continual financial losses led the company to sell the entirety of its remaining freehold property investments in 2006 and 2007. The performance of its previous investments -- in publicly traded real estate investor Innobox, electronics manufacturer SRS Technology Group, and Blue Chip Casinos -- ultimately led to this strategic decision. Bidtimes is actively searching for businesses and scouting for a reverse takeover opportunity that will relaunch the company.

The company was founded in April 2000 under the name BGL Investment Partners as a joint initiative of Banque Générale du Luxembourg (BGL) – now BGL BNP Paribas – and several private investors. The aim was to provide added momentum to regional entrepreneurship while at the same time offering shareholders a stable, high-quality revenue base. BIP was seen as heir to the traditions of BGL, with its long history of support for the creation and ongoing development of companies in Luxembourg and beyond. To continue and consolidate these achievements, the bank opted to contribute its institutional investment business to a new, independent company. This focuses talents and resources to unleash the value of existing firms and turn new ideas into business reality. The launch of BIP was associated with a capital increase through an Initial Public Offering, allowing other institutions and private investors to participate in the venture. Following this IPO, Banque Générale owned approximately 40% of equity, with the balance held by a group of core investors and members of the public. In February 2006, the company changed its name to BIP Investment Partners in the wake of the rebranding of Banque Générale. Meanwhile, BGL has discreased its share of capital to 10%, while the parent of insurance company La Luxembourgeoise increased its stake to 15%.
