Quintet Partners Navigator Program

At Quintet Partners, we've developed a distinctive approach to private investment through our Navigator Program, which connects accomplished executives with established companies ready for their next chapter of growth.

Beyond the Traditional Path

While many talented executives consider starting businesses from scratch, our Navigator Program offers a compelling alternative: the opportunity to acquire an existing profitable business where you can immediately apply your leadership expertise to drive substantial value creation.

How the Navigator Program Works

Through rigorous selection in partnership with trusted executive search partners, we identify high-potential senior executives with sector-specific expertise who wish to lead established businesses with enterprise values exceeding $20 million. These businesses are typically outside formal sales processes and may involve succession planning, management buy-outs, or corporate carve-outs.

Our approach includes:

1. Engagement Phase: Executives research and source actionable investment opportunities with Quintet's support.

2. Identification Phase: Selected executives gain access to Quintet's comprehensive resources:

   • Collaborative environment and infrastructure

   • Analytical support for research and financial modelling

   • Transaction structuring expertise

   • Financing solutions and capital access

   • Regulatory and compliance support

   • Leadership recruitment assistance

3. Due Dilgigence & Acquisition Phase: When the right opportunity is identified, Quintet facilitates:

   • Due diligence;

   • Term sheet preparation; and

   • Funding through our investor network

4. Ownership Phase:

   • Executives receive meaningful equity in the acquired business

   • Original founder may retain equity for continuity if appropriate

   • Quintet Partners and investors maintain majority ownership

5. Post-Acquisition Support: Quintet provides ongoing:

   • Board representation;

   • Governance; and

   • Operational resources to drive sustainable growth.

Building Long-Term Value

Unlike venture capital with potentially unrealistic growth expectations, the Navigator Program focuses on established businesses with proven profitability and sustainable growth potential across diverse sectors including retail, industrial services, healthcare, financial services, technology, and other sectors.

This model creates alignment between talented executives, business owners seeking succession, and investors looking for attractive returns—a win-win approach to private investment that has delivered strong results globally.
