Bridging the gap between legacy and future.
About us
At Vanaheim Equity, we share a deep passion: honouring the legacy of successful small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) while fostering their continued growth. We achieve this through two complementary approaches: acquisitions by Vanaheim Equity and Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) our search fund.
Considering selling your business?
Whether you're nearing retirement, seeking new ventures, or simply ready to pass the torch, Vanaheim Equity can be your ideal partner. Our team of seasoned entrepreneurs understands the complexities of business ownership and the emotions involved in selling a company you've built. We specialise in acquiring established businesses with a strong track record in stable industries, ensuring a seamless handover and honouring the legacy you've built.
For aspiring entrepreneurs:
Are you passionate about leading a successful business but hesitant about the risks of starting from scratch? Our ETA programme offers a compelling alternative. Through our search fund, we partner with aspiring entrepreneurs to identify and acquire established SMEs that align with your skills and vision. This empowers you to take the reins of a thriving business with a solid foundation for future growth.
Here's what sets Vanaheim Equity apart:
Dual Path to Growth: We offer both acquisitions by Vanaheim Equity and our ETA search fund, catering to the needs of both business owners seeking an exit and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Passionate about Legacy: We value the legacy built by outgoing owners and ensure a smooth transition that honours their hard work in both acquisition scenarios.
Experienced Entrepreneurs: Our team understands the intricacies of business ownership, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for both exiting owners and aspiring ETAs.
Focus on Stability: We target established SMEs in stable industries, providing a solid foundation for future growth under new leadership, irrespective of the chosen path (acquisition or ETA).
Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA): We empower aspiring entrepreneurs to lead and grow a successful business through acquisition, bypassing the high risks of starting a venture from scratch.
Win-Win Partnerships: Our approach benefits all parties involved. Outgoing owners achieve a secure exit strategy, while acquired businesses and aspiring ETAs gain the opportunity for continued growth and success.
Vanaheim Equity is more than just an investment firm. We are a team dedicated to honouring legacies, empowering entrepreneurs, and building a brighter future for established businesses.

At Vanaheim Equity, acquisitions are more than transactions; they are a bridge to the future.
