Our Criteria and Approach
Novus has a flexible investment philosophy and are not constrained by rigid investment criteria.
Novus specialises in the industrials and business services sectors, serving a B2B customer base.
Our focus includes businesses that are not operating at full potential and face challenges stemming from market, financial, ownership, or management issues.
Preference is given to businesses thriving in expansive markets, where there are significant opportunities for organic growth and strategic consolidation.
Partnering with experienced and driven management teams — whether already in place or sourced externally — is a cornerstone of our approach.
Management teams are highly incentivised to deliver successful and sustainable outcomes.
We specialise in partnering with businesses that generate EBITDA in the range of £500k to £5m.
Novus is comfortable across a range of deal types, including MBIs, MBOs, and non-core carve-outs.
While our preference is to secure majority stakes, we remain open to minority investment opportunities.
