About Criteria For Sellers Get in Touch

One business.
Done right.

We are looking for one exceptional Australian business to acquire and lead with full commitment, long-term ownership, and genuine respect for what you have built.

About

Operators first.
Investors second.

BAU Capital is an Australian search fund. We raise capital from experienced investors, find one exceptional business, acquire it, and run it full-time. No portfolio. No quick flip.

BAU carries two meanings. It is a homage to the first generation of our family who came to Australia to build a better life. That spirit of commitment, resilience, and long-term thinking is at the heart of everything we do. It also speaks to Business As Usual — we protect what works: your culture, your people, your reputation. Then we build from there.

We are backed by a network of experienced business operators, locally and abroad, who bring deep operational knowledge alongside capital.

01
One acquisition. Total focus.
We dedicate ourselves entirely to one business, not a portfolio.
02
Long-term ownership
No fund mandate forcing an exit. We are in it for the long haul.
03
Proudly Australian
Focused on Australian businesses. We will relocate anywhere in the country for the right fit.
Investment Criteria

What we are
looking for

We are focused and disciplined. Ten or more years of proven performance, strong margins, and a business built to last. If that sounds like yours, let us talk.

📈
Proven Financial Performance
15%+ EBITDA Margins

$2M to $15M revenue with 15%+ EBITDA margins, demonstrated over 10 or more years. We look for businesses that have proven their model through multiple economic cycles.

🔒
Sticky, Recurring Revenue
Recurring Revenue

Revenue that returns year after year through repeat customers, contracts, or subscription models. Sticky revenue signals customer trust and a defensible competitive position.

👋
Owner Transition
Succession Ready

A founder approaching retirement who wants their business and team to be in good hands. Succession planning is our speciality.

🚀
A Platform for Growth
Platform Strategy

We are not acquiring to maintain. We acquire to grow. The business we buy becomes the platform we build from, whether through organic expansion, new markets, or bolt-on acquisitions.

📍
Location
Australia Wide

Anywhere in Australia. We are genuinely open to any state or region and will relocate for the right business.

👥
Team in Place
Operations Intact

Existing staff who know the business. We lead and grow it. We do not rebuild from scratch.

For Business Owners

You built something
worth protecting.

We are not a PE firm. We are operators who will join your business, lead your team, and honour what you have created.
