Business Owners

If you own a mature, established New Zealand business with a proven track record of steady financial growth and you want to protect the legacy that you’ve created, Castlerock could be the partner for you.

Safeguard the future of your business

Castlerock is a conservative long-term investor that will protect the business you’ve built. Whether you are interested in selling a stake, introducing new capital, or looking for a total buy-out, our conservative investment approach will help to safeguard the legacy you have created, rather than seeking aggressive growth or a move into new markets.

For owners wanting a succession plan, our experienced team will help you to smoothly transition out, confident in the knowledge that you are placing your business and staff in safe hands for the next phase of your business’ life.

If you would prefer to sell a stake and gain strategic, financial, and operating support, Castlerock is a good choice of partner. Our experienced team enjoys working with founders and management to set the business up for future success. We are prudent owners who aim to support management wherever we can through our active role as business directors.

Castlerock operates a conservative capital structure aimed to allow shareholders to receive a quarterly cash distribution from the business alongside our investors.

“I’m excited for the next chapter of HELL. When Castlerock explained their approach, we realised we shared common goals for the business. I have retained a 50% stake and am enjoying having some fresh perspectives on the Board. We are invigorated to continue our success into the future.”

“The fact that Castlerock was investing for the long term was what gave me comfort to sell my business to them. Majestic and my staff are important to me and I didn’t want to sell to just anyone. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to continue to be involved as a Director on the Board and am enjoying working with the Castlerock team. I hope to be involved in some capacity for many more years to come.”

"After 26 years as a 100% family-owned business, the decision to take on an investment partner was not taken lightly. The timing was good as we have been going through a generational change over the past few years, however the Castlerock team and their long-term partnership approach was a great fit. We are excited about the future opportunities working with Castlerock will present as we continue to build on a pretty special business for a few more generations to come."
