Our Approach
The Mifsud Group
is a family business, not a traditional private equity group. This frees us from the demands of outside investors which means we don't work towards any timeline except our own and allows us to make decisions in the best interest of the business. We are a family business that was built through hard work and the desire to invest our capital, time, and sweat equity to support talented people, innovative ideas, and collaborative work environments to create value for all involved.
Our approach to acquisitions and investments, like all of our actions, is built on the foundation of Our Values. With this in mind, our first step is always to listen. We want to understand the motivations for a business transition. Whether personal or financial, our first job is to understand the reasons to ensure that we are the correct partner for a given owner. The challenges and stresses of transitioning a business to new owners are very personal and unique to each owner. We look for opportunities to work with business founders or multi-generational business leaders who have built or sustained a family legacy in the business where our investment can be more than a financial transaction. In other cases, we are working with owners are looking for a way to retire and leave the burden of ownership behind and want to reap the rewards of their hard work. Every situation is different, complex and requires flexibility, support and understanding.
Finally, we strive to learn. While we look to add our vast experiences to management teams, we are also mindful of the talent that presently exists. Partnering with the experience and knowledge in the businesses, we understand where we add value and where we are best suited to simply trust the leaders in the business and allow them to excel. Simply stated, our role is to identify the tools needed and provide them to a talented management team to execute a successful growth strategy.
