Business Partnerships
As an investment and holding firm with a specialised division focused on the Australian business market. Orington Capital (Orington) backs and partners with small business owners by:
We prefer everyday local businesses (i.e. non-tech) which you may see down a high/main street or run from a small suite in a suburban office building. You may be operating as a sole trader, partnership or already as a Pty Ltd. If you are looking for a business partner to assist with a business turnaround having faced a set of challenges, seeking help to increase sales and productivity and/or grow through additional capital spend, please contact us.
We are intentional in NOT calling ourselves private equity or venture capital as we are fundamentally different. Our philosophy, as a family owned and operated business ourselves, is that we are business partners for life and do not plan to exit unless you plan to. We also have no intention of majority ownership or operational control as we are investing in you, whom we will entrust to operate the business on a day-to-day basis. We will be fully aligned to providing practical and complementary support on a regular basis in the functions of strategic planning, business development, as well as back-office operations. In addition, there will be opportunities to cross pollinate and create value between our portfolio companies. Lastly, we can become a low friction way for founders to fully exit after a period of joint ownership.
Being a small team of specialists, Orington can make investment and partnering decisions swiftly if needed after we have learnt the details that make your business of interest to us. We are always seeking small businesses to partner with and willing to provide advice regardless of whether we can strike a partnership deal or not.
Our investment criteria:

We do this by providing bespoke capital structures, complementary support services, transition planning options and monetisation of your business holding.
