Thinking about what’s next? A NZ business buyer is quietly looking for businesses like yours

detail

We’re working with a New Zealand publicly listed company that is looking to acquire a small number of high-quality businesses to hold for the long term.

This is a highly selective search. They are focused on well-run, established businesses that play an important role for their customers and communities.

What they’re looking for:

  • Founder-owned businesses (often owned for 10+ years)
  • Proven, consistent financial performance
  • Typically around $1m+ EBITDA
  • Stable, repeat revenue
  • Services customers rely on — not “nice to have”

Areas of interest include:

  • Building compliance and fire safety
  • Environmental and regulatory services (water, air, testing)
  • Safety-driven or compliance-based services
  • Waste, hazardous or secure storage services
  • Specialist testing and technical services

What makes this buyer different:

  • Long-term owner (not private equity)
  • No pressure to cut costs or “strip out” the business
  • No forced integration into a larger group
  • Strong focus on preserving your reputation and legacy
  • Flexible transition — you can stay involved or step back over time

All discussions are strictly confidential. Nothing is shared without your approval and a signed NDA

If this sounds like it could be relevant to you — now or in the future — I’d welcome a confidential, no-obligation conversation
