Own a business that already works.
Sandmark backs operators to acquire established Australian SMEs, with capital support, an operator network, and TEN13-grade technology capability to help you run it sharper and grow faster.
More than capital.
Search funds give you money and a deadline. We give you a team that has closed deals, run companies and built software, and stays after the close.
| Acquisition support | Deal structuring, diligence, negotiation and execution discipline from a team that has done it sixty-odd times. |
|---|---|
| Operator network | Pattern recognition, peer support and practical playbooks from people who have sat in the seat. |
| Technology uplift | Systems, reporting, automation and AI workflows that change how the business runs, not a dashboard nobody opens. |
| Growth support | Pricing, sales process, pipeline, capacity planning and hiring once the business is yours. |
Who we back
| Leaders | Operators ready to lead teams, not just model spreadsheets. |
|---|---|
| Athletes | Commercial athletes: calm under pressure, decisive, hands-on. |
| Stewards | People who respect legacy and want to keep staff and customers. |
| Builders | People who will modernise without breaking what works. |
