Havel Capital is an entrepreneur-led partnership seeking to acquire and operate a single, high-quality business.
Havel Capital offers a unique alternative to private equity and strategic buyers. We are not building a portfolio. Our goal is to identify one exceptional SME, acquire 100% of it, and assume operational management responsibilities.
For founders seeking to retire or step back, we provide capital, continuity, and direct leadership. We honor the legacy, culture, and employees that made the business successful, ensuring it thrives for decades to come.
Our Focus
EBITDA between €0.5M - €5M with an established track record of 5+ years. A history of profitability and recurring revenue streams, with strong margins and healthy cash flow generation.
B2B services, light manufacturing, or specialized software with low customer concentration. We look for fragmented industries, niche market leaders, and low capital intensity.
Owner seeking retirement or to step back from daily operations. We facilitate a smooth, well-structured management succession.
The Timeline
Initial conversations to understand your goals, the business culture, and assess high-level fit.
We analyze the financials and align on a fair valuation, submitting a formal Letter of Intent (LOI).
A collaborative verification process (legal, financial, operational) and planning for the transition.
Transaction close. We step into the leadership role, ensuring continuity for employees and clients.
We are hands-on operators. We bring the same dedication you have always given the business, backed by additional energy and resources to grow it further.
We respect what you have built. Our aim is continuity — for the company's name, its culture, and the team behind it — as the business enters its next chapter.
We take a long-term view. Rather than a quick turnaround, we focus on steady, sustainable growth, committing the energy and resources needed to build lasting value.
We review opportunities on a referral basis or by direct inquiry.
