Our Focus.

We invest in entrepreneurs, aiming to convert opportunity into reality.
MANAGEMENT BUYOUTS (MBOS)
We partner with ambitious management teams leading dynamic businesses in growth markets, supporting their strategies for growth, both organic and acquisitive.
GROWTH EQUITY
We partner with exceptional founders and entrepreneurs where our capital and support can help their businesses scale.
OWNERSHIP TRANSITIONS
We help vendors realise value, often in complex situations which require an open-minded and flexible approach.

Our Approach.

Our aim is to generate maximum growth and value. We are therefore analytically meticulous in our approach for picking established companies that show good growth prospects.

A SHIP IN THE HARBOUR IS SAFE,
BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT SHIPS ARE BUILT FOR.

Investment Criteria.

Umoya Capital Partners seeks investment opportunities in businesses that have:

  • Delivered historic profitability of more than R25m per annum;
  • Significant cash generation capability;
  • Experienced management teams with strong performance track records;
  • Compelling growth opportunities; and
  • A strong, defensive moat.

Our investment criteria therefore excludes start-up and turn-around opportunities.

We are largely sector agnostic but exclude the traditional primary industries of property, mining and agriculture from our investment landscape.
