Exit in confidence,
with Acquity.

An Australian private equity firm. We acquire profitable, well-run businesses and look after the people who make them work.

Who we are

Operators by background. Owners by intent.

Our partners have started, built and scaled businesses, and acquired competitors along the way. We know what a change of ownership asks of a team, because we have managed one from the inside.

That experience is what we bring to the table. It gives an owner certainty through the sale, and it gives the team a next owner who understands the business from the first day.

How it works

See more

A clear process, run by people who have done it.

A disciplined process with no surprises late in the piece. Most of the work is ours.

  1. A conversation

    An hour, in confidence. Tell us about the business and what you want from a sale. If we are not the right buyer, we will say so on the day.

  2. We look closely

    The numbers, the customers, the team. We work with your accountant and your lawyer, and nobody at the business hears from us without your say so.

  3. A fair offer, in writing

    Clear terms, and we stand behind them through to settlement.

  4. A handover that suits you

    Stay on for a while or step away. We agree it up front, and we look after the team either way.

What we bring

Experience, expertise and strategy.

What a business gains when we become its owner. All three come from running businesses, not advising them.

Experience

Partners who have run businesses day to day: the people, the customers and the cash. We understand what you are handing over.

Expertise

Sales, operations, systems and people. Where a business can use a hand, we bring it. Where it already runs well, we leave it alone.

Strategy

A clear plan for the business under its next owner, shared with the team early, so nobody is left guessing what the sale means for them.

What we buy

Profitable, well run and clean.

We are not tied to one industry. If the business is sound, we want to hear about it.

  • Profitable todayA business that earns now, with the records to show it.
  • Well managedA team that knows the work and the customers, and runs the place day to day.
  • CleanTidy books, clear ownership and nothing tucked away. What we see is what we buy.
  • An owner who cares what happens nextSomeone who wants to know their people are in good hands after the sale.
