We have always focused on investors looking for tangible investment opportunities and entrepreneurs aiming to grow their businesses with our support. Investors and entrepreneurs are always part of our story.

Our diversified approach and the synergy between our expertise in Private Equity and Real Estate sets us apart with a unique investment offering. We manage our real estate assets as a business, and our portfolio companies benefit from our real estate expertise to enhance their own property strategies.

Our philosophy: commitment and synergy as the key to success.

At Buysse & Partners, involvement is in our DNA and we firmly believe in the transformative power of collaboration. We intentionally cultivate a dynamic ecosystem, connecting key stakeholders: entrepreneurs, investors, CEOs and management teams from our portfolio companies, independent directors, advisors, and our team.  Within this ecosystem, knowledge and experience are shared, driven by a shared passion for fostering local growth and promoting social involvement.

We also take this involvement very personally: every team member at Buysse & Partners invests personally and meaningfully in our strategies. It’s our 'skin in the game' approach that fuels our dedication to responsible, impactful investments, ensuring we remain deeply engaged in every opportunity we pursue.

Our ESG strategy


Our approach.

Investing is built on trust: trust that your capital and your business are in good hands with us. Our track record and personal commitment speak for themselves, but we are also keen to share our approach with you.

  • Macroeconomic perspective: We begin every investment process with a macroeconomic lens, identifying high-quality opportunities that align with broader market trends.
  • Thorough analysis: Each potential investment undergoes a rigorous analysis. Whether in business or real estate, we prioritize quality and long-term growth potential.
  • Disciplined valuation: Our acquisition strategies are rooted in realistic, disciplined valuations, ensuring that every investment has the potential to deliver attractive returns.
  • Active management: Investments are actively managed and closely monitored by our dedicated team of seasoned professionals.
  • Strategic exits: We plan exits thoughtfully, considering market conditions and balancing the interests of our investors and portfolio companies in both timing and strategy.
  • Balancing vision and liquidity: While we focus on long-term growth, we also strive to create liquidity moments at regular intervals to serve our investors' needs.

Throughout this process, we can count on our large team of experts and our many years of experience. Transparency and high ethical standards are a constant guiding principle.
