Private Equity

BUYERS OF SMALL & LOWER MIDDLE MARKET BUSINESSES

We invest where others won't and invest like others can't

ABOUT US

NOVIUM EQUITY GROUP

 

A private investment firm specialising in acquiring SMEs and lower middle market businesses.

 

Small business is the backbone of the economy and the monetary environment of the past decade has hamstrung the allocation of capital to SMEs in Europe and North America.

 

We provide owners with an exit strategy while simultaneously positioning the business for long term sustainable growth.

BUSINESS OWNERS

SUCCESSION PLANNING

 

We are focused on acquiring profitable companies where the owners have a genuine reason for selling. You may be preparing for a well-deserved retirement and can’t find a way or someone to pass the business onto.

 

You may be facing a life changing event such as relocation, illness or bereavement and thus need to sell urgently. You might simply be burnt out and too tired to inject new life and energy into the business.

OUR APPROACH

 

Novium Equity Group is looking to acquire stable businesses, preserve their culture, values, and brand and unlock areas of potential growth.

 

As our capital is private and independent, our investment horizon is not restricted and thus we are able to invest for the long term. 

 

WHAT WE DO

 

At Novium, we provide accommodative and tax efficient deal structures, enabling business owners to exit smoothly and realise a liquidity event.

 

We use a proprietary qualitative and quantitative valuation method, developed at the Cass Business School M&A Research Centre, in order to reach a fair market value.
