Private Capital · Permanent Ownership
Good businesses deserve
owners who stay.
Provestments acquires and operates established businesses for the long term — no fund clock, no flip. We pair patient capital with companies worth keeping, and we plan to still be here in ten years.
How We Think
Five convictions guide everything we do — from the businesses we pursue to the way we run them after closing.
I. Time
We buy to hold. Every decision looks different when you plan to own the business a decade from now — maintenance gets funded, people get developed, and shortcuts stop making sense.
II. People
The team is the asset. A business that has run well for years runs on the people who know it best — keeping them, and earning their trust, comes before everything else.
III. Restraint
Established businesses rarely need reinvention. We keep what works, fix the one or two things that are clearly broken, and resist the urge to leave fingerprints on everything.
IV. Alignment
Operators and investors belong in the same boat. Our own capital goes in alongside our partners', and nobody's incentive is to dress a business up for a quick sale.
V. Quiet
Compounding is boring on purpose. Stable teams, consistent customers, and steady reinvestment beat dramatic transformations — in returns, and in the communities these businesses serve.
What We Look For
We're not looking for the next big thing. We're looking for a good thing that's been good for a long time.
- Earnings
- $2M+ in EBITDA, with a consistent history behind it.
- Growth
- Steady, not rapid. Durable demand over hockey sticks.
- Model
- Simple to explain, with recurring or naturally re-occurring revenue.
- Sector
- Service businesses — B2B or B2C — and tech-enabled services.
For Owners
You spent years building something worth keeping. The right next owner should see the whole business — the people, the customers, the reputation — not just the line items.
You deal with a decision-maker
From the first conversation, you're talking to the person who can actually say yes — not a committee, not an intermediary.
Plain-English terms
Straightforward structures you can explain to your family over dinner. No clever mechanics designed to quietly claw back what you were promised.
Your people are the priority
We're buying the business because it works — and it works because of your team. Keeping them is the plan, not a talking point.
What to expect
-
I
Conversation
A casual, confidential conversation. No pressure, no obligation — just whether there might be a fit.
-
II
Fit
If it makes sense for both sides, we dig in — financials, operations, and the story the numbers don't tell.
-
III
Terms
An offer in plain English, structured around your goals — for the business, your team, and your own next chapter.
-
IV
Close
An orderly, professional close. We move at a steady pace and do what we said we would.
-
V
Transition
You hand over on your timeline — a clean break or a gradual step back, whichever serves you and the business.
Confidential, and the first conversation costs nothing but an hour.
For Investors
Provestments is in its formation stage. If long-term ownership of proven, cash-flowing businesses fits how you think about capital, we'd welcome the introduction.
