Our Mission

​

We aim to provide a long-term home for great companies—where founders can be confident their customers and employees will be cared for, and where the business will be managed for sustainable success, not short-term gains.

​

​

What Makes Us Different?

 

1.  Continuity

Unlike Private Equity buyers, we do not seek to restructure companies we purchase. We seek to manage the companies in the same careful way their owners and founders have managed them. We do not seek to cause any disruption to operations. Preferably, we would like the selling shareholders to remain with the business in some capacity, either for a transition period or a multi-year term.

​

2.  Long-term Focus

Vicen has no intention of selling any of the companies we acquire.  We invest primarily our own capital, and thus  we have a much longer time horizon and can focus on what is best for the business over the next 20+ years and not just 5 years.

A key area of focus for us is customer satisfaction. For this reason, we particularly seek to buy companies from owners who have created a similar culture focused on customer service and increasing customer loyalty by ensuring the customer always comes first.  

​

3.  Independence

Unlike the majority of trade buyers, we will not look to rebrand the companies we purchase. All companies will be run independently at their current location and will maintain their own identity. By following this decentralised model, we ensure that the acquired company’s culture, which fostered long-term success for the company, does not get lost in a corporate environment.
