Operational value creation

Common Challenges
SMEs lack the time and resources necessary to elevate their tools, processes and practices from “good” to “best-in-class”
The Alpera Way
Our platforms systematically professionalise the acquired SMEs across all core functions: Commercial, Operations, Finance, Technology and ESG

Shared vision and best practices

Common Challenges
SME owners are often lonely at the top, and constantly distracted by daily operational challenges, making it hard to focus on the bigger picture
The Alpera Way
Our platforms provide SME owners with a common set of ambitious objectives as well as a network of trusted peers to break the isolation, share best practices and grow faster

Long-term commitment

Common Challenges

SME sellers want to secure their life’s work and ensure their businesses will stay in good hands forever

The Alpera Way

Our platforms buy to hold, not to sell. While the platform’s ownership might change as it matures, the underlying businesses are here to stay

Including ESG from the start

Common Challenges

ESG is a substantial investment requiring time, resources and expertise that SMEs often lack

The Alpera Way

Our platforms bring resources and no-nonsense ESG playbooks that drive real outcomes from Day 1

Achieving top decile returns and liquidity

We create value for our investors and partners

Top decile returns through focus on roll-up

Common Challenges

Private equity investors have become generalist asset managers

The Alpera Way

We focus solely on roll-up strategies, as they have been proven to drive outperformance in the public and private markets alike over the long term

Relentless focus on liquidity

Common Challenges

Private markets increasingly lack clear paths to liquidity for capital providers

The Alpera Way

We seek to return capital to our investors by creating single-asset SPVs with liquid, sought-after platforms that will attract interest from large pools of potential buyers within a 5-year timeframe

Shared value creation

Common Challenges

Financial investors do not sufficiently share the value created

The Alpera Way

We have designed attractive re-investment schemes for SME owners to share the upside with them, and encourage widespread employee ownership across our platforms
