Partner with us
Alpin is a patient investor in private businesses. We partner with owners and managers in our portfolio to recognise and leverage their true potential. We have a strong track record of fundamentally enhancing the performance of our businesses.
Business owners
Alpin originated in 2013 as a private investment vehicle for its partners to hold businesses in which they acquired and operated themselves. It has since evolved into a private capital firm with a strong tack record of successfully partnering with owners of Australian SMEs, providing high calibre expertise, enabling strategic growth and transitioning the business from a founder-led/dependent organisation to an attractive standalone business – without compromising the values and legacy of the business. In doing this, the business has the elements to be significantly more attractive to a larger pool of potential buyers in the future.
We are flexible and open to discussions on the level of owners’ involvement in the business post a transaction. What we are committed to do is – work hard for all shareholders to build value in the medium to long term.

Investors
Our investor base is a sophisticated group of business owners, professionals, corporate executives, high net work individuals and family offices. They seek medium to long-term exposure to high quality, growing and cash generating Australasian SMEs, which often go under the radar of larger investment firms. Our hands-on approach suits our investors who often show a keen curiosity in the businesses we co-invest in together and where relevant they provide contacts and experience to improve the outcome for all investors. We are often described as a safe pair of hands by our investors.
We target an overall investment return of 20+%. This is underpinned by ongoing 8+% p.a. targeted distributions, which are paid-semiannually, as well as underlying capital growth in the investment driven by our value creation program.

Operating partners
It is common for the vendor of the businesses we invest in to want to step away from the day to day management of their business. We have a large network of highly experienced CEO’s and key executives to enable growth and build on the business. Legacy, sustainability and critical thinking are key attributes of our business leaders and operating partners.
We are always looking for great operational partners to steward our businesses. If that sounds like you, please get in touch.
