Founder

Staying, growing or stepping back

Start-up founders stay in charge. Owners of established businesses can stay, step back over a year or two, or hand over. You choose.

Horizon

We hold, we don’t flip

We don’t invest to break up and resell. Long-term ownership is the point.

Not for us:Ideas without a team or a first customer · businesses that only work in a forecast · companies that need a rebrand to make sense · anything we couldn’t explain to your staff.
How we invest

How does moufit invest? Three ways, and you choose.

Investing, partnering and buying mean different things to different people. Here is exactly what each one means at moufit.

100%

Full acquisition

We buy the business. You stay on as CEO, hand over in six to twelve months, or step away at completion. Best for owners planning succession.

51%+

Majority partnership

You keep a meaningful share and your seat. We take on the heavy lifting: finance, admin and growth support. Best for SMEs ready to scale.

Up to33%

Minority investment

Growth capital and a long-term partner. You keep control and the final say. Best for start-ups and growing SMEs.
