Operators
Dreamt of running your own business?
We back experienced operators to buy established, profitable businesses, and partner with them for the long term to make both them and the business a success.
Who we're looking for
People who have always wanted to own a business and make their own decisions, but haven't had the capital to buy one. Solid, dependable and entrepreneurial. Motivated by building something that lasts rather than by a quick win.
This is not a start-up programme. The businesses we buy together are established, profitable and already trading well. Your job is to run one of them better than it has ever been run, and to own a meaningful share of it while you do.
How the partnership works
You run the business and drive its performance day to day. We make sure the risks are covered and the business is built to last.
Pace provides the capital to acquire the business, the systems and oversight to run it well, and a permanent owner behind you. You bring the energy, the judgement and the hands-on leadership. Both of us hold equity, so we win together over the long term.
Why you should talk to us
You have a business in mind

You'd like help finding one
