KNABBEN & CO. PRIVATE EQUITY
Investeringen & Deelnemingen
A discreet view on how private capital may support businesses through ownership, partnership, and strategic development.
Overview
Capital with purpose, structure, and patience.
We consider opportunities where ownership can support continuity, strengthen governance, and enable lasting value creation.
01
Private equity
Ownership focused on strategic value creation over time.
02
Partnership capital
Participation that supports management and future growth.
03
Strategic ownership
A role that can range from minority support to majority control.
Participations
Minority or majority, depending on fit.
The appropriate structure depends on the business, the ambitions of the owners, and the level of alignment available.
Structures
Four ways to engage
Minority participation
Supportive capital with shared strategic intent.
Majority participation
Greater influence where continuity and stewardship are important.
Full acquisition
Complete ownership where the opportunity and ownership transition align.
Growth capital
Capital to support expansion, professionalisation, or strategic transformation.
Governance matters as much as economics.
We assess ownership structure, decision-making, and alignment carefully, because long-term value depends on how a company is governed as much as how it performs.
