Gold Circle Group brings patient capital and active operation to help great businesses compound year after year.
We buy profitable, owner-run companies in British Columbia and Western Canada, usually worth under $10 million. We are not a fund raising money to sell everything again in five years. Mani has bought, run and grown these businesses himself, which is why we can decide quickly, and why we don't feel the need to change what already works.
Most owners have only ever done this once. Here is the whole process, step by step.
