About us

SMEVentures employs an internationally proven buyout model known as the search fund, developed at Harvard and Stanford in 1984, to identify, acquire, and operate SMEs throughout Australia and New Zealand. We pair talented entrepreneurs with businesses in need of a succession plan, providing reliable continuity and peace of mind for the outgoing business owners, and dreams-come-true for the incoming entrepreneurs. At a time when Australia and New Zealand are facing a family business succession crisis, SMEVentures is importing a proven model to address that problem.
