August Holdings is a private holding company focused on acquiring and sustaining essential businesses.

Our approach is simple:

  1. Acquire carefully.
    We only buy businesses we understand and respect. We focus on high retention, predictable cash generation, and modest, sensible growth.

  2. Preserve what works.
    We keep the culture, relationships, and core product or service intact. We avoid disruptive changes that upset staff or customers.

  3. Put the right operator in place.
    Where needed, we work with existing managers so the business keeps running smoothly without the founder – or us – in the middle of daily operations.

  4. Hold for the long term.
    We think in decades, not quarters. The objective is stable, compounding owner earnings, not short-term optimisation.
