Private Enterprise.

Private enterprise is the deployment sector for founder-owned businesses outside the origination markets. These are profitable, unglamorous companies with one owner approaching a decision about succession. IGUAKO Capital buys control or a protected minority, installs governance, and holds for cash yield. Private Wealth & UHNW frequently introduces the seller, and the seller often becomes a client.

Thesis

Succession is the most reliable source of private assets at a sensible price. A founder without a buyer will accept governance, reporting and a longer timetable in exchange for certainty. IGUAKO Capital provides all three, takes distributions rather than a rerating, and keeps the relationship with the family through Private Wealth & UHNW.

The 3 positions total US$52 million. One is an industrial services group maintaining process plant across two regions. One is a specialist distributor serving veterinary and laboratory customers. The third is a testing and certification firm with accredited laboratories in three countries. Each was bought from a founder, and two founders retained a minority holding.

Governance arrives before growth capital. A board is constituted within 90 days of completion, monthly accounts are required from the first month, and a named executive answers for every automated decision the business makes. Where a founder stays, the shareholders agreement fixes the exit route and the valuation method in advance. Nothing is left to a later negotiation.
