Equity Partnerships
An Equity Partnership is a joint venture between individuals that pool their capital, experience and skills to maximise a combination of revenue and capital growth from a business.
The benefits of equity partnerships are numerous and include:
- creating an opportunity to benefit from economies of scale
- growth without necessarily increasing workload
- amalgamation of skills, experience and knowledge
- spreading risk
- being a farm ownership pathway
- enabling business succession
- personal interest and growth
Getting Started
From our own experiences at Sheppard Agriculture, we realise that the people who are most likely to be successful in an Equity Partnership are proven performers and already exhibit characteristics that are critical for the new business. It is unrealistic to expect that any level of skill, knowledge or experience will change coincidentally with the establishment of an Equity Partnership.
Whether you are interested as an investor or equity manager, we encourage you to contact us for a full copy of our Equity Partnership Guide, or to discuss any current Equity Partnership opportunities.
