Building value together
Selling your company can be a challenging process. Strategic or commercial issues can make it difficult to attract potential buyers. And the market’s view of the value of your business may not match your aspirations.
We created the Rockworth Partners Fund to offer business owners a new way to achieve the exit they are aiming for.
The Fund helps owners take a structured and focussed approach to building the value of their company.
Rockworth works side-by-side with shareholders and management teams to fulfil the potential of the business and ultimately achieve a full and successful exit.
