Founder succession
A founder is planning what comes next and wants the business to stay in the right hands, with the transition funded and the people considered.
Portfolio
The businesses we back.
Established private companies, led by people we trust, and held for the long term.
Our portfolio, in brief
Partnerships, not a list of logos
Everston Partners invests in established private companies and holds them for the long term, alongside the people who run them. Each investment is a partnership with a leadership team, built around its business plan.
We do not publish the names of the companies we work with. Their owners and managers trust us with conversations that are not meant for public view, and we keep it that way.
Why we keep our portfolio privateWhere we invest
Growth for established owners
An owner has built a sound company and wants capital and counsel for its next stage, without losing what makes it work.
Management buy-outs
A leadership team wants to own the business it runs, on terms agreed early and in writing.
Shared ownership
A company wants its key people to hold a real stake in the outcome, so the people who build the value share in it.
What our businesses have in common
Good businesses, led by people worth backing
- Established private companies with a record of results
- Leaders who want a long-term partner, not a quick exit
- Businesses where people are the real advantage
- A plan we can agree on together, in writing
Sector, size and structure are considered case by case. If you are unsure whether your company fits, ask.
