Interests: We focus on businesses where value is supported by tangible assets, contractual visibility, and controlled downside risk. Preference is given to asset backed and concession led businesses, or operating companies with long term licences, institutional counterparties, or repeat contracted revenues that provide clear cash flow visibility. We look for disciplined cost structures, realistic payrolls, and businesses that can operate sustainably without continual capital injection. Sensible leverage, transparent ownership, and clean governance are essential, as is the ability to exercise meaningful control or influence post investment. We favour opportunities where value creation is driven by operational improvement, commercial optimisation, or structured growth rather than speculative re rating. Regulated or public sector linked environments are acceptable where obligations, renewal terms, and compliance costs are clearly understood. We avoid speculative, pre revenue, or heavily leveraged businesses, consumer trend driven models, and situations where returns rely primarily on future exits rather than operating cash flow. We also avoid founder dependent businesses with weak governance or unclear decision making authority. Factors I look for in a business: • Predictable revenue and strong cash flow. • Clear path to profitability and scalability. • Defensible market position or niche. • Competent management and sound operations. • Realistic valuation expectations. • Opportunities to improve structure, systems, or growth execution.
Background: I operate within a UK based family office focused on long term, value oriented investments across Europe. Our approach centres on asset backed businesses, concession and infrastructure linked assets, and operating companies with defensible cash flows and clear downside protection. We invest with a long-term horizon, prioritising disciplined capital deployment, governance, and sustainable value creation over short-term financial engineering. Our experience includes regulated environments, public sector counterparties, and businesses operating under concession, licence, or framework based structures. We typically engage as active owners, working alongside management and stakeholders to strengthen operations, optimise cost structures, and support measured growth.

Assistant Manager, Restaurant

Individual Buyer in Wiesbaden, Germany

Interests: I am primarily looking for existing food and beverage businesses where hands-on management and operational discipline can significantly improve performance. Specifically, I look for: - Businesses I like. • Operating restaurants or bars with an existing customer base, licenses, and basic infrastructure already in place. • Small to mid-sized venues (approx. 20 to 60 seats) where quality, consistency, and experience matter more than scale. • Businesses with clear operational inefficiencies (cost control, menu focus, staffing, service flow) that can be improved through active management. • Venues in good locations with reasonable, sustainable rent and transferable leases. • Concepts that are re-brand or reposition-able, especially where food quality or experience can be elevated. • Owners who are open to a structured transition, partial exit, or partnership rather than purely passive ownership. - Businesses I typically avoid. • Large, multi-unit chains requiring heavy capital expenditure. • Concepts dependent purely on discounts, high volume, or delivery-only economics. • Businesses with structural legal or licensing issues that cannot be regularised under foreign ownership. • Over-leveraged businesses with unsustainable rent or unclear financial records. • Purely passive investments where I have no operational control or ability to execute. - Investment & involvement approach. • I prefer operator-led investments, where I take an active role in day-to-day operations and performance. • Open to partial acquisitions, partnerships, or full takeovers, depending on structure and alignment. • Focused on long-term value creation through operational excellence rather than short-term flipping.
Background: I am an experienced operator-led hospitality professional with Michelin level background. I have a strong focus on hands-on management, food quality, and cost discipline. I am currently preparing to enter the Ho Chi Minh City market and am specifically looking for existing, licensed venues where I can take over operations and grow the business. Rather than a full cash acquisition only, I want to ask whether the business would be open to discussing a partnership or partial investment structure, where: • I come in as an operating partners and minority/majority shareholder (depending on structure), • I take over day-to-day operations and management, • The business is re-branded and repositioned under a refreshed concept, • Existing assets, staff, and licenses are retained where possible. I believe this can be a win-win if the business is looking to step back from daily operations while still retaining upside, or if they are open to a structured transition rather than a full exit.

Interests: We look for businesses that are real, documented, understandable, financeable, and operated by serious principals. Before investing, acquiring, financing, or advising, we focus on: * Proven revenue and paying customers. * Strong or explainable financial performance. * Experienced management. * Clear use of funds. * Hard assets or collateral where financing is involved. * Proper documentation. * Realistic valuation. * Clear repayment or exit strategy. We generally like established operating businesses, especially in manufacturing, industrial, logistics, equipment-heavy sectors, healthcare services, essential services, food production, business services, franchises, and real estate-backed businesses. We are cautious with pre-revenue concepts, highly speculative startups, businesses seeking 100% financing with no equity or collateral, poor bookkeeping, unpaid taxes, unclear ownership, weak documentation, and heavily regulated businesses without proper compliance. In short, we are open to complex businesses, but not unclear or unsupported transactions.
Background: I serve as president, representing a financial services company. We are a Canadian-based commercial finance and capital placement firm that assists businesses, developers, and project sponsors in securing debt and equity financing through our network of private, institutional, and alternative capital providers. We can assess whether the project aligns with current lender and investor appetite and discuss potential financing structures available. We acts solely as an intermediary and capital placement firm and is not a direct lender. Any financing remains subject to lender review, due diligence, underwriting, and final approval.
