Aquiline Holdings Limited (‘AHL’) is a management and investment company. We invest in small to medium sized businesses (‘SMEs’) involved in importing, manufacturing and distribution in New Zealand.
As at July 2008 we have seven subsidiary companies in our portfolio, all 100% owned. Subsidiary businesses operate in a variety of industry sectors including chemicals, cleaning products, rigid plastics, apparel, foodstuffs and office products.
Each subsidiary operates essentially as a stand-alone unit with a fully accountable General Manager reporting to the group’s Managing Director. In all businesses a range of indicators relating to profit, cash flow and working capital are monitored and managed to an established set of criteria designed for SMEs involved in import and distribution.
We are interested in discussing opportunities to acquire SMEs with business owners and/or their advisors. We are able to assess quickly whether or not a business will be suitable for further consideration. If it is then we can provide an indicative valuation as the basis for discussions.
