Why work with us?
Your business has been built through much hardship. You're thinking of how you can grow revenues, using technology to out-think your competitors and gain an advantage, without selling your business cheaply today. And you want to grow as large to be respected institutionally. This is where Matsu Partners can help.
Our process
Whether investing in a minority or majority equity position, our approach is based on partnering: recognising that an SME's real worth is not in its cash flows, but the expertise accumulated by management over decades.
Our process examines the feasibility of realising synergy by combining this with our expertise. But this aims to
Due Diligence
We engage in 35-60 days of due diligence to understand your business, to fairly value your business as-is today, and to identify areas where we can drive operational improvement. Deal terms are discussed and agreed.
Proving value generation
We agree on Milestones to deliver operational improvement over the next 90 days, working on-site with an owner(s) and their team. This builds confidence in our partnership - serving as a foundation for investment.
Investment
We execute on the deal agreed, working towards revenue and profitability targets together, alongside wider strategic objectives, to maximise competitive positioning and future valuation - with an eventual exit in 3-5 years.
Why working with Matsu can 8x your valuation
Most SMEs are priced low - simply owing to their size and inability to absorb shocks to their business model - an SME can fail at any time.
Growing a business to US$5-10+m in profitability is vastly more attractive to institutional investors - who are prepared to pay substantial premiums, as these are considered platforms that can continue to grow and scale.
For an SME to reach this stage requires implementing a range of best practices. Having worked for institutional investors, and where we have built the corporate foundations to achieve this, is where we can unlock several levels of growth beyond an SME's reach.
