Simply put, we will not invest in a company in which we do not believe we can add value. Notably, our group includes world-class advisors and operators who collectively bring more than 200 years' experience in investing, operating and growing small and medium-sized businesses. Our turnkey succession plan includes assuming daily operational responsibilities of the business, as well as providing good governance in the form of a strong board of directors. Uniquely, Dhandho is not a passive investor. We add value to an investment by building upon the existing strengths and capabilities of the business, but also by injecting cash to expand operations, shore up gaps in management, and address potential weaknesses in IT and systems infrastructure. Our approach to succession planning is unequivocally growth-oriented. Dhandho Partners sits as an alternative to (and often in between) traditional venture capital and private equity investors by offering a unique form of succession planning. We are looking for a business that is profitable beyond the "start-up" phase, is growing and boasts a differentiated value proposition.Our ideal situation is an owner who is looking to step back from operations while also crystallizing gains and value in the business.
