We Invest in and grow commercial businesses on Australia's eastern seaboard.
If you're advising on a sale or considering one yourself, we'd like to talk
how we work
Invest, grow, exit.
We invest in commercial businesses with a view to sustainably grow them and exit over a 5-7 year time horizon. Our goal for growth is mostly organic, sometimes acquisitive, but always built around the people running the business.
Invest
We look for businesses led by strong operators, in industries we understand, and where there’s a path to growth. We invest because we see upside, and our approach builds on the foundations already laid.
Grow
Our role is the same in every business we work with: own the commercial and financial management and pair it with an operator who owns delivery.
Exit
Every business we invest in has an exit horizon. We grow it, build its value and exit well when the time is right. Owners who keep a stake share in that outcome.
who we Invest in
What we look for.
The quality of the business and the person behind it matter more than the industry. We're looking for B2B service businesses in tangible industries where we can grow and add value, including those that need work.
Trade services, electrical, logistics, facilities management, and adjacent commercial sectors
$2m to $10m revenue, typically project based work with existing admin and accounts staff
Working capital intensive businesses where cash flow is the primary constraint on growth
We work with owners who want to stay and grow, and owners who are ready to step back. Owners who retain a stake grow with us.
who you’re working with
Our team.
We've built and grown businesses as owners, operators and investors. We've done it before and we're building to do it again.
