Brenowen arranges and manages the investment by our wholesale investor clients, alongside the Brenowen Principals and founders/management in ownership of select smaller private businesses which we have a competitive edge in identifying and acquiring. Each chosen investee business is intended to achieve an attractive target IRR by patiently holding while regularly distributing their profits, made possible by their strong cashflows and light capital requirements.
Our portfolio currently consists of two businesses, a specialist grain haulage business www.patersonstransport.com.au and a leading fleet vehicle branding business www.libertysigns.com.au and we are actively, but in a highly disciplined fashion, seeking our third investee by identifying and evaluating candidate businesses.
Candidate investee businesses are likely to be available for investment either because funding is required for continued expected growth or because the owner/founder wishes to exit the majority of their ownership as a step towards ultimate retirement, but wishes to carry on being involved as a partial owner and at Board level and work with Brenowen to ensure smooth transition to professional senior leadership of the business. Brenowen has the experience to assist in mitigating the risk of this transition, which in smaller private businesses, can often dramatically impact business performance.
