Investment thesis
Armitage Associates partners with owner operators of growing, profitable businesses in Australia and New Zealand, deploying long-term, patient capital sourced from successful families, entrepreneurs and operators. It typically invests $10-30mn in companies generating $2-10mn of profit with an Australia/New Zealand head office. The firm positions itself as an active partner, offering its network, resources and input to help facilitate growth rather than dictating operations. It is flexible on ownership, willing to hold minority stakes, can provide partial liquidity for founders to de-risk, avoids saddling businesses with heavy debt, and takes a long-term view with no fixed investment horizon. The team co-invests alongside its investors.
