Acquiring established businesses
for long-term ownership
Taliss Investments partners with business owners seeking a thoughtful transition
prioritising continuity, people, and long-term value.
People are at the heart of every business and it's our aim to make sure that any businesses we acquire creates a special place to work that everyone can enjoy and be proud of.
A Credible, Founder-Led Buyer
We are a private investment firm focused on acquiring and supporting high-quality businesses. Our approach is calm, deliberate, and built around long-term ownership, not quick exits or financial engineering.

Why Taliss Investments
Many acquisitions focus on short-term optimisation or rapid resale. We take a different approach — one rooted in stewardship, stability, and responsibility.
Taliss Investments was formed to provide founders with a credible alternative: a buyer that values what has already been built and is committed to carrying it forward with care.
What We Look For
Every business is unique, but certain characteristics consistently signal long-term resilience and quality.

Our Acquisition Process
We aim to make the acquisition process clear, respectful, and efficient to reduce uncertainty and allowing owners to focus on their business.
1. Initial Discussion
A confidential, informal conversation to understand goals and alignment.
2. Indicative Proposal
Clear structure and expectations, without unnecessary complexity.
3. Due Diligence
Focused analysis designed to minimise disruption.
4. Completion & Transition
A handover approach that supports people, customers, and continuity.
Our Investment Philosophy
We acquire businesses with the intention of long-term ownership. This means we are not constrained by exit timelines or pressured to prioritise short-term financial outcomes
Our decisions are guided by durability - strengthening operations, supporting leadership, and investing with a view that extends well beyond the transaction itself.
Where We Fit
Taliss Investments is not a broker, aggregator, or marketing-driven buyer. We are a direct investor with capital and operational understanding, focused on selective acquisitions and enduring ownership.
A Considered Time for Transition
Across many industries, founders are navigating increased complexity. From regulatory pressure to succession planning. In this environment, thoughtful transitions matter more than ever. We see opportunity in supporting stable businesses through periods of change with clarity and care.
Considering a Future Transition?
We welcome discreet, no-obligation conversations.
