About
An Australian private equity firm, run by operators.
We acquire profitable, well-run businesses and own them. The experience we bring to them is our own.
What we are
The buyer, not a broker.
Acquity is an Australian private equity firm. We acquire businesses to own and run them, not to pass them along. When we buy, we are the owner, and we stay the owner.
Every business we buy has the full attention of our partners, and every owner deals with them directly, from the first call to settlement.
Our partners
The people you will deal with.
Rory Dixon
Partner
Rory spent ten years starting, building and scaling a business of his own, acquiring competitors along the way. He brings an operator's view of what a business needs from its next owner.
What we bring
Where we can help.
Sales
Pricing, pipeline and winning work without discounting the name.
Marketing
Position, message and reach, so the right customers can find the business.
Operations
Process, quality and delivery that hold up once the founder is no longer in every decision.
Strategy
Choosing what to do and what to leave alone. Most strategy is the second one.
Systems
Reporting and tools that let the team see how the business is going without asking one person.
People
Hiring, keeping and growing the team, because the team is the business.
How we work
Four things we hold to.
- We buy to ownWe are buying a business to run, not a position to sell on.
- People firstWe meet the team early, tell them straight what is changing and what is not, and look after them through it.
- Experience over theoryWe have done the work we talk about, so we know which advice holds up on a Monday morning.
- Patience over paceWe would rather get a handover right than get it done fast.
If we sound like the right buyer, tell us about your business.
An hour, in confidence, with no obligation on either side.
