Our Approach

We acquire companies in equity partnership with management – either the incumbent management team or a buyin team.

We assist managers to acquire or expand businesses by providing capital and, just as importantly, we actively support those managers to grow the value of their businesses and ultimately to realise that value. We add value to our portfolio companies by bringing operational expertise to each company as well as financial and strategic capability. We are the only leveraged buyout team in Australia possessing significant general management and operational expertise.

Archer Capital considers an active partnership with management throughout the lifecycle of an investment as an essential foundation for success. We contribute our own management and operational expertise and play an active role on the boards of portfolio companies.

The quality of a business is the key to the success of a transaction. Our expertise lies in identifying potential investment opportunities – businesses in a strong market position and/or growth potential, with strong cash flows and significant opportunities to improve operational performance. Ultimately, our skill lies in improving and realising the value of a business.
