Step 1: Invest (with a target of 60 days from Heads of Terms)

We invest the capital to secure at least 51% of each company, in exchange for ep group shares.
In this way, you have skin in the game and benefit from the group’s collective success. It also means we can protect governance and control from extractive capital.
If you’re looking to exit your business, we arrange a straightforward handover and promise to protect your team, culture and mission, for the long-term.

Step 2: Grow

In the first 90 days we work with you to develop a long-term plan for sustainable growth. Our team has the expertise, empathy and zeal to help your business maximise its potential.
As part of ep group, you can access progressive, long-term capital, new markets and larger projects. You also benefit from central support services, like HR, legal and marketing, and best-in-class advisors.
Our corporate ownership model incentivises your employees to succeed. And you continue to operate autonomously, with your own brand and identify.
Importantly – we promise to protect your core mission, with profits reinvested to serve purpose.

Step 3: Realise value

We’re focusing on growing ep group and then listing on a stock exchange, while protecting purpose and principles. This will create more value for you than selling your company privately as a stand-alone business.
