Where we have experience

We understand operational businesses.

Our background spans real estate, construction, trades and service businesses. That gives us a practical understanding of companies built around people, delivery, customers and day to day execution.

We are especially interested in trade and field services, construction and property services, specialist business services and other operationally led companies. A strong business outside those areas can still be a conversation worth having.

Fit matters on both sides.

We value honest conversations. If we are not the right owner for the business, we will say so quickly and respectfully. The right transaction should make sense for the seller, the company and Avenoir.

Considering what comes next?

Let us have a confidential conversation.
