The Smits difference
We value what you have built. We highly
value the employees, culture, relationships, brand, and reputation of your
company. Because we believe continuity is important, we encourage our
partners to remain in leadership roles while we create and unlock further value
together.
We are the experts that can help you grow. We
are entrepreneurs in our own right and have significant real-life experiences
in most transitional business scenarios. We appreciate the challenges your
business faces and can help bring you to the next level of revenue and
profitability.
What type of companies do we invest in?
We are selective in whom we approach and who we enter in partnership with. We believe that excellence begats excellence and thus we are looking for companies who are the leaders in niche markets.
We would like you to have a positive cash flow and a debt-to-assets ratio that is palatable with an annual revenue of not less than R10 million but not more than R100 million. We are specialists in product development and manufacturing. We have solid business relationships with suppliers of infrastructure, industrial and business service companies, enabling us to identify strategic alliances for your company. We can help you recruit talent (if needed) and suggest/implement best practices while offering you unparalleled market intelligence.
Because we are a hands-on development and management team, we prefer our partners to reside in Gauteng, South Africa.
Our Team
Our
strategic enterprise partnerships are driven by well-sourced, highly
experienced professionals who work together with you in a team
structure, sharing a common philosophy and goal: realizing your company’s full
potential.
We are long-term partners, and we bring
more to the table than money. Our ethos is one of collaboration through
expertise. We work hard, we do what we promised, wand we value transparency and
honesty. Smits Enterprises understand the inner workings of a family-owned or
founder-led company, and we care about people. We enjoy overcoming challenges
together with our partners. We are experts at striking the balance between
strategizing without getting in the way of the executive team.
