We are looking for great companies

We have developed several criteria to screen companies in order to establish a match with our investment approach. We evaluate potential businesses based on a comprehensive approach that considers industry dynamics, company operations, and financial performance.

We focus on industries with favorable trends and growth potential, companies with strong management and sound operational foundations, and financials that demonstrate profitability, resilience, and opportunities for expansion. Regardless of sector, we believe B2B2C companies can provide the best opportunity to leverage our digital and business development skills and experience.

Our approach is designed to preserve the legacy of the companies we partner with. Continuity and capable stewardship is key, and we build upon decades of entrepreneurial experience.
