We're a Sydney couple looking to buy
an established business and run it ourselves.

Two decades of helping other people's businesses grow. Now we'd like to do it for one of our own.

We're a Sydney couple looking to buy
an established business and run it ourselves.

Two decades of helping other businesses grow.
Now we'd like to do it for our own.

Who we are

Two owners, not a fund.

We're a Sydney couple stepping out of Management Consulting to put twenty years of growing other people's businesses - Kate at Kearney, Marek at Kearney and GNG Partners, working with companies across Australia, Europe and Asia. Now we are ready to grow one of our own.

After a decade of handing over recommendations and walking away, we want to stay and see it through. We live in Sydney, our child is growing up here, and we're looking for a business to spend the next decades building.

What we're looking for

Location — Greater Sydney

Three groups of service businesses we are looking for.

Property & Strata Management

Strata Management

Business profile

Annual EBITDA in the range of A$350,000 – A$650,000
At least 3 years of trading history, consistently profitable

Low dependency on the current owner

If you're close but not an exact match, we'd still like to hear from you.

Why us

What handing over to us would look like.

We build on what you've established

You and your team know your trade better than we do. We're coming to learn it from you, keep doing what already works, and maintain your heritage.

We're buying to run it ourselves

Instead of investing, we're buying a business to operate hands-on, day to day, working alongside your team. You'd be handing over to owners who show up, not to a portfolio.

We know how to grow businesses

Over twenty years of combined experience growing businesses with customer in mind - understanding real customer behavior and addressing their needs, while delivering value to business. Now focusing on one business instead of many.

Kate Bochkareva Pazitka

Lead operator

Ten years at Kearney advising the owners of P&Ls across Australia, Asia and Europe. Some of Kate's experience includes: building a Loyalty business unit for an Australian mutual from the ground up (concept, commercial model, and go-to-market strategy), redesigning service operations for a major player in superannuation (halved service cost while improving CX), and developing operating procedures for a global pharmaceutical company to streamline its post-transformation operations. Kate led multiple client teams to successfully reach project objectives and worked with leadership teams to make strategic decisions. She holds a Master's in International Management and a Bachelor's in Business Administration.

Marek Pazitka

Strategy, finance & growth

Twelve years as a Management Consultant at Kearney and GNG Partners. Marek ran a three-year growth strategy for a major NZ telco as the sole full-time consultant, directing a team of seven C-level executives and ten general managers; implemented — not just recommended — pricing and retention programmes delivering a $60m in-year profit uplift; and led a turnaround that prevented a company's bankruptcy. He conducted multiple commercial due diligence engagements and independent valuations on live acquisitions. Expert in pricing, finance and data-driven customer-led growth. He holds a Doctorate (PhDr.) in Philosophy, a Master's in Finance, Financial Markets and Banking, and a Master of Science in Economic Analysis and Behavioral Economics.
