Notre approche
Every deal is approached with an entrepreneurial mind-set, and a no-nonsense, fair and sustainable approach. KeBeK also adopts a responsible investor approach including ESG criteria in its investment process and the monitoring of its investments.
Before investing, we perform in-depth due diligence of each company’s market, business model, operations and value creation levers. This process ensures that we identify actionable opportunities, define priorities and agree with management on a strategy et business plan.
Once invested, we remain closely involved, providing focused support and advice in specific areas and acting as sounding board / sparring partner to management teams. Management teams remain in the “driving seat” and fully aligned with shareholders.
When supporting companies, we focus on value creation strategies combining:
(i) organic growth via continued roll-ot, commercial push, penetration of new markets, channels and geographies, and expansion of offerings
(ii) reinforcement / professionalisation of organizations, processes , systems, and reportings
(iii) M&A / buy-and-build or consolidation plays
