MUSURI

We want to carry on what you have built.

We are a Spanish father and son based in Lisbon. We are looking for a Portuguese company whose owner is thinking about succession, to run it for many years. Miguel leads it full time and the capital is the family’s own, with no fund behind us and no deadline to sell.

A letter to owners thinking about the future of their company

If you built a company, price is rarely the only question. The others are what happens to the team, the customers and the name on the door.

We are not a fund. We have no investors to pay back in five years and no portfolio of holdings. We want to buy one company, keep it and grow it with the people who already work there.

What we offer is a frank conversation, a clear written offer and a handover done together with you over one to two years. If it suits both sides, you can keep part of the company and share in what comes next.

What we look for

If your company fits most of these points, it is worth a conversation.

Results
Sales of €3–15M and EBITDA of €0.5–1.5M, with at least three years of profits.
Activity
Business services, specialised distribution or manufacturing. Not restaurants, retail, real estate or technology.
Location
Near Lisbon or Porto.
Customers
Diversified: none above a quarter of sales.
The owner
Wants to plan for succession and is willing to stay on through the handover.
Ownership
We buy a majority. The founder can keep a stake.

What stays the same

The team

We buy a company for the people who make it work. We are not coming in to cut.

The name

The brand, customers and suppliers keep the relationship they have always had.

The horizon

There is no plan to sell. It is family capital with no time limit.

Discretion

Nobody hears about the conversation, not your team or your customers, until you decide to tell them.

How it works

  1. 1
    A conversation
    A coffee or a call to get to know each other. No documents, no commitment.
  2. 2
    Confidentiality
    We sign an NDA and ask for the last few years of accounts.
  3. 3
    Offer
    A letter setting out the price, how it is paid and your role in the handover.
  4. 4
    Due diligence
    We review accounts, contracts and legal matters with outside advisers.
  5. 5
    Signing
    We close the deal and start working side by side.

A first conversation commits you to nothing.

Email or call Miguel directly. If you advise an owner who wants to sell, we would be glad to hear from you too.
