Private Equity
Capital measured in years, not quarters.
Control transactions, buy-and-build platforms and growth investments in privately held companies.
Patient capital
The best businesses reward the owner who can afford to wait.
We underwrite the operating business, not an exit multiple.
-
Year one
Governance, reporting and the operating plan settle. Nothing is rushed to show early movement.
-
Years two to four
Add-on acquisitions, senior hires and the margin work compound on each other.
-
Year five and beyond
We sell when the business is ready, not when a fund clock says the period is up.
Mandate types
Four ways a transaction
reaches the desk.
-
Businesses for sale
Quietly, to a short list of qualified buyers.
-
Growth capital raises
Minority capital, without ceding control.
-
Acquisition mandates
Off-market targets, both sides of the Atlantic.
-
Co-investment positions
Alongside the firm, on the same terms.
Investor access
How access is granted.
- 01 — Register interest
- A partner, not an application.
- 02 — Qualification
- Mandate, capacity and fit.
- 03 — Access granted
- The full opportunity board, plus matching briefs.
- 04 — Ongoing deal flow
- New off-market situations as they surface.
What sits on the board.

From registration to qualified access
Start the conversation
Every transaction begins
with a private conversation.
Whether you are raising growth capital, exploring a control transaction, or looking to co-invest alongside the firm, the ONYX partners would welcome the conversation.
