Investment thesis
Armitage Associates backs outstanding owner operators of growing, profitable businesses in Australia and New Zealand. It targets companies generating $2-10mn in profit seeking $10-30mn in capital, and works actively alongside founders to develop and execute growth plans while leveraging its network. The firm offers patient, long-term capital with no fixed investment horizon, avoids burdening businesses with heavy debt, and is flexible on ownership stake, willing to hold a minority position. It can also provide liquidity for owners to de-risk. Its committed capital comes from some of Australia's most successful families, entrepreneurs and operators, and the team co-invests in each deal.
