Profile

Pemba Capital Partners specialises in forming buy-and-build partnerships with private business owners and managers. We understand the challenges and complexities of growing a business, such as balancing the need for additional capital with personal financial risk, family and management dynamics, and private ownership structures.

Many of our most successful partnerships involve investing in a strong business and then making a series of smaller acquisitions that are integrated into the parent company. This growth strategy is known as Buy and Build.

Independently owned by its Managing Directors, Pemba Capital Partners was established in 1998. Since then, we have made over 40 platform investments, which have collectively completed more than 200 add-on acquisitions as part of our buy-and-build strategies.

We take a conservative approach to debt and generally avoid highly leveraged businesses.

Before partnering with Pemba Capital Partners, we encourage potential partners to speak with as many current or former investee owners as possible to hear their experiences with us. These references often play a crucial role in the decision-making process for owners or managers considering working with us.
