Acquisitions

As part of Newsec, we offer a place to thrive and develop – for your business, your clients, and your employees.

As businesses grow, entrepreneurs may decide to continue their journey with a partner. Whether it is due to a generation shift, realization of value or simply to accelerate the development of the company, Newsec will be the ideal partner for your business, employees, and clients.

What we offer

Newsec is a committed owner, and our objective is to be the ideal long-term partner for your business. As the leading full-service property house in Northern Europe, we have the resources and experience to support the businesses we acquire to drive sustainable growth and profitability.

We have a strong track record of successfully acquiring and integrating businesses, recognizing the importance and value of providing a good long-term home for employees and clients. With us, you and your employees will be part of an organization recognized as a Great Place To Work – for 10 consecutive years.

We believe in an innovative and entrepreneurial culture, adhering to a non-bureaucratic governance model that signifies freedom with responsibility, quick and seamless decision procedures and pragmatic reporting focused on important KPIs.

As a part of Stronghold Group, we offer a truly differentiated value proposition with deep knowledge of real estate and tech, access to capital, extensive industry contacts, and unrivalled insight into the Northern European markets.

What we look for

Newsec is on a strong growth journey with a well-defined strategy to further grow our business and enhance our client proposition. Acquisitions is a natural component and fundamental part of our growth strategy. We are continuously looking to partner with entrepreneurs, business leaders and owners of well-managed businesses with a strong presence in their niche markets.

We typically look for companies with:

  • Services business, incl. management, consultancy or tech-enabled businesses catering to the real estate sector
  • Presence in Northern Europe
  • Proven and sustainable business model
  • Long-standing client relations
  • Add-on acquisition: not size-dependent, evaluated based on strategic qualification
  • Platform acquisition / new operating areas: companies with sales of >100 MSEK
  • Documented profitability

We evaluate companies on their own merits and may consider an acquisition even if not all criteria above have been met if the company offers attractive strategic and/or financial opportunities.

We look to acquire at least a majority stake in a company. It is common that we initially acquire 70 percent with an option to increase our ownership to 100 percent over a 2–5-year period. We believe this provides an attractive model for aligned interests, working toward common goals and to drive value together. Through our majority ownership we take an active role, acting as a sounding board, contribute with strategy and catalyst for development and growth.

We are always looking for new acquisitions. Please get in touch for an open dialogue regarding our future together.
