If you are considering retirement or taking a step back from day-to-day OPERATIONS OF your company, we’d love to TALK
Family businesses:
We understand that your family’s history is likely to be inextricably linked to your company’s past, and there is often a strong desire to preserve this legacy for the future. We will work sensitively with all family members to provide you with a succession option that keeps your business independent and honors the values, culture and employee loyalty that have been built over generations.
Owner Managers:
Giving up control can be difficult. We will work with you to smoothly transition out of day-to-day operations on your schedule. The choice is yours; either retire fully and enjoy the rewards of your hard work, or stay involved in a light-touch or more strategic role. We are also open to discussing the possibility of you retaining a minority stake if you wish to retain further economic upside for the next phase of growth.
SElLING TO US IS NOT THE SAME AS SELLING OUT!
We are making a single acquisition, so that we can move into management roles in the company. We are not building a portfolio of companies to diversify our risk; with us, you have the benefit of knowing we are “all-in” on your business.
We will put your business first

WE WILL BE IN IT FOR THE LONG RUN
Contrary to PE funds we don't have a predetermined investment horizon. We don't flip companies and we don't attempt to time economic cycles. Everything we do is with a long-term mind set, nurturing the business for the future as you have nurtured it in the past.
WE WILL BE UPFRONT WITH YOU ON VALUATION
We will work with you to ascertain a fair price for your company and will always be upfront and disciplined about our valuation. We do not provide inflated upfront valuations only to be followed by ‘price-chipping’ during due diligence. Also, as long-term investors, we do not underwrite to cost cutting, financial engineering, or other short-term strategies that detract your company from realising its full potential.
WE WILL BE FLEXIBLE ON TERMS AND DEAL STRUCTURE
Whether you want to cash out and retire, or stay involved in the future growth of your business, we can adapt the deal terms to reflect your requirements. Our unique structure puts in the fortunate position of sometimes being able to bridge price expectations through creative deal structures which others simply can’t replicate.
YOU WILL HAVE ONE SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT THROUGHOUT
Ulrik will be the decision makers and primary point of contact throughout the entire process and post-transaction. He will conduct the majority of due diligence himself, which means he can be pragmatic and sensitive in getting the key questions answered and limit the involvement of third-party advisors to the absolute minimum.
We will add exceptional resource to your business
Post-transaction, your business will have access to resources only very few businesses of this size can match. We are backed by a world-class network of over 25 seasoned entrepreneurs, business executives and investors who are willing to chip in and help out whatever way they can.
