INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY INVESTMENT CRITERIA OUR TEAM

		INVESTMENT CRITERIA Equity Partners has extensive experience in investing in and working with businesses across a range of industries. We undertake a comprehensive due diligence process to ensure that potential investee companies satisfy our criteria for a successful investment. Our investment criteria include:
			Profitable growth-oriented business with between $4 million and $20 million in profit before interest and tax
			Headquartered in Australia or New Zealand
			Strong proven management team
			The business has or is likely to create a strong market position through developing its sustainable competitive advantages
			Established platform for growth
			A well identified medium term exit plan
		Our investment mandate precludes us from investing in property or primary mining businesses. We do however invest in businesses servicing these sectors. We invest in the following types of opportunities:
			Growth Buyouts: partnering with experienced management teams to acquire successful businesses where the business owners wish to exit or the businesses are no longer core to their corporate owners
			Expansion Capital: providing high growth businesses with capital to fund organic growth and / or growth via acquisitions
			Succession Planning: refinancing of owner operator businesses to facilitate a transition of ownership
			Combination of these: we are flexible investors and have considerable experience investing in businesses involving more than one of the above types, such as buyouts that also require capital for growth
		We will not invest in start-up or early stage ventures.
