Our Story
Founded by entrepreneurs who understand what it truly means to build something worth preserving.
Our Story
Maki Investments was founded by Suveer Gill, an entrepreneur and industry executive who recognised a gap in the private equity landscape. Too often, financial buyers fail to understand the soul of the businesses they acquire, focusing solely on financial metrics while neglecting the human elements that truly drive success.
Our founding team has experienced both sides of the acquisition process — as an entrepreneur who built and sold businesses, and as an investor who recognised the importance of preserving what makes each company special while providing resources for growth.
Beyond Traditional Private Equity
At Maki, we've reimagined the private equity model to create value through genuine partnership.
Patient Capital
Unlike traditional private equity, we don't operate on arbitrary timelines. Our holding structure allows us to invest for the long term, making decisions that benefit the business over years, not months.
Operational Expertise
Our team includes former operators who have scaled businesses across multiple industries. We don't just provide capital — we offer practical insights and hands-on support.
Cultural Preservation
We recognise that culture is a competitive advantage. We work diligently to preserve the unique elements that have made your business successful.
Transparent Process
We believe in straightforward communication throughout the acquisition process, ensuring alignment of expectations and a foundation of trust.
We Partner With Businesses That Demonstrate:
Strong fundamentals across diverse sectors and industries.
Established Market Position
Proven products or services with loyal customer bases.
Revenue
Typically £1–12 million in annual revenue.
Growth Potential
Opportunities for expansion through new markets, products, or operational improvements.
Strong Management
Talented teams that drive operational excellence with or without founder involvement post-acquisition.
Succession Needs
Often family-owned or founder-led businesses seeking transition.
