Case Study 1

Challenge
A second-generation family-owned manufacturer was ready for transition. The owner wanted liquidity to retire but needed reassurance that the brand, workforce, and reputation built over decades would remain intact.

Our Approach
We structured a phased buyout with seller financing, allowing the owner to step back gradually. We introduced new leadership support, modernised operations, and provided growth capital to expand production capacity.

Outcome

• Preserved 40+ jobs and safeguarded customer relationships.
• Delivered liquidity to the owner while maintaining continuity.
• Expanded into new regional markets within 12 months.

Why It Matters
This transaction shows how micro private equity can balance financial goals with legacy protection, giving owners peace of mind that their life’s work will continue to thrive.
