Factors such as revenue, profitability, market position, growth potential, strategic fit and the opportunity for NV Holdings to add value all form part of our evaluation.
Does NV Holdings only acquire businesses outright?
No. Depending on the opportunity and the objectives of the parties involved, we may consider full acquisitions, majority investments, significant minority investments, joint ventures, growth capital, management partnerships and strategic co-investments.

What happens after I submit an opportunity?
Our team will review the information provided and assess whether the opportunity aligns with our investment focus.
Where there is potential alignment, we can engage in further discussions to understand the business, objectives and potential transaction structure in greater detail.
Does NV Holdings provide operational support after investing?
Our involvement depends on the business and the specific investment structure.
