About Banksia Capital

Banksia Capital is a private equity fund based in Perth, Australia, that specializes in providing equity funds for expansion, acquisitions, and small-to-mid market leveraged buyouts. Established in 2003, it primarily invests in profitable private Western Australian businesses, preferring companies with profits exceeding $1 million. Banksia Capital typically invests between $3 million and $15 million per business and is willing to take either minority or majority stakes depending on the situation. Their investment horizon ranges from 2 to 7 years, emphasizing a long-term partnership approach rather than quick exits. The firm's expertise lies in equity investments, and it is particularly adept at handling expansion and MBO/LBO transactions. Banksia Capital sets itself apart by allowing business owners to 'sell down' their stakes and be relieved from personal guarantees, presenting solutions for succession issues, and offering deep expertise in managing growth through mergers and acquisitions as well as in securing debt financing. The firm seeks to add value through its extensive national and international networks and provides know-how to grow and realize value within its portfolio companies. Apart from direct investments, it also offers a service called 'The Vault,' which provides clients with access to case studies, proven business models and tools to tackle challenges within their businesses. On their official website, one can find more information about their approach, team, investments, and how they aim to be a resourceful partner for private businesses in Western Australia. Notably, they do not invest in startups or unprofitable enterprises. Their goal is to assist in the growth of businesses, believing that growth comes from forces working together, not by chance, and is a product of continual progress and adaptation.
