How-to
Built to own
Most acquirers are structured to sell. Windbury is structured to hold, and buys accordingly.
Get started
About
Windbury acquires controlling interests in established businesses and takes responsibility for them afterwards. We invest our own capital in everything we buy, bring a small number of investors alongside us for each acquisition, and look at very few businesses a year.
Get started
Ownership over trading
A business improves under an owner who intends to still be there. Every decision we make about a company is made by someone who expects to live with it.
Our own capital
We commit it to every acquisition. It is the only assurance that matters, and we would not ask anyone to take a risk we are not taking.
Overlooked situations
The best opportunities are rarely in a competitive process. They are the companies that have been passed over, held too long, or buried inside something larger.
Structure over price
Most sales that fail do not fail on value. They fail because nobody found terms both sides could live with. That is usually solvable, and it is where we spend our time.
Management ownership
Whoever runs the company holds equity in it. Not a bonus scheme, a shareholding, earned over the years they are building the thing.
What we decline
Bidding on price alone, businesses we cannot run, and any company whose plan needs everything to go right.
