work with uscontact us

Our goal

We are looking for a company with an established competitive advantage in its sector with demonstrable growth potential and with a strong need for transition, such as generational handover, as we ensure the continuity of the company by proposing the founding partner as manager. 

Don’t settle for less

A unique solution for business continuity

We believe in small and medium-sized Italian companies and in an alternative investment model, which brings experience, knowledge and a young entrepreneurial figure with international experience to be able to guide the company in a phase of growth, maintaining the values ​​of Made in Italy.

We differ from all other types of investors in that our objective is to purchase and operate a single business, with a personal and total commitment from the founder to the long-term growth of the company. This allows us to find a solution that fits the needs of the outgoing entrepreneur: from the outset, our goals are aligned.

Our human model

Work on maintaining and strengthening relationships

Our philosophy allows us to personalize the transaction, to be able to take into account the specifics of each situation. Our human model leads to the development of a strong relationship with entrepreneurs who have decided to sell, which allows us to perfectly understand their motivations, financial and otherwise.

​We are private investors with a long-term strategy and are fully committed to maintaining and strengthening relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and all stakeholders.

Entrepreneurs

Selling your company

Selling your company is a decision that involves many emotional, financial and practical factors.  

That’s why we promise to transition with greater respect for the needs of outgoing businesses. We will do our best to retain and motivate employees, and continue to nurture the customer and supplier relationships you have worked so hard to build. 

Once the investment is finalized, Patria’s founder will personally transition into a full-time operational role within the company. His commitment is to grow and sustain the business for the long term.

We are different

From the very beginning, our goals have aligned

Patria Private Capital’s long-term investment horizon and day-to-day operational commitment differentiates us from private equity investment firms and strategic buyers. We are independent of fees and commissions, which means that our success depends solely on our ability to deliver sustainable long-term growth for your business.

This allows us to tailor the details of the transaction to the needs and requirements specific to your situation.
