Investment Criteria
Understand more about our investment criteria when it comes to working with new companies.
-
We seek to work with companies of this size as we typically find they have good management in place, yet there are still improvements to the company we can make.
-
Having 4+ years of accounts allows us to evaluate the trading history, understanding the companies strength in generating cash flow.
-
Companies within this range we feel comfortable investing in as we recognise they are companies that have solid management in place, strong revenue creation but still with opportunity for improvements.
-
We aren’t industry specific. We are a team of entrepreneurs, existing business owners, financiers and thus we recognise that the key to success is about the people within the business and industry expert consultation.
