How we help
Founder Transitions
Your business is a legacy, the team you built, the customers you served, and the way you earned trust year after year. At Luxry Capital, we understand that selling isn't just about the money. It's about what happens next.
When we acquire a company, we are committed to growing it with the same pride, purpose, and attention to detail that got it this far. That means we take care of your people, preserve the strengths that matter, and work with integrity through the transition. You'll leave knowing the next chapter is in the right hands.
Search and Diligence Discipline
We make the acquisition process as smooth and straightforward as possible. All of our search, valuation, and diligence work is done internally for a focused, founder-friendly acquisition process.
We also respect your time and effort. That means fast responses, clear conversations, and a practical understanding of how your business actually works. We come prepared and focused, but we also ask for patience to learn the experiences through your years of hard work.
Post-Acquisition Operating Systems
After the deal closes, our first priority is to protect what's working. We don't believe in starting from scratch or disrupting just for the sake of change. Instead, we work alongside your team to bring in better visibility, clearer reporting, and systems that reduce friction as the business grows.
We focus on financial controls, sales tracking, and internal coordination while connecting the dots so your business runs more efficiently across teams. Where systems are disconnected, we help modernize and integrate them in a way that respects the company's culture and pace. Our goal is to strengthen the foundation without breaking the spirit.
Strategic Growth and Platform Expansion
Once the business is stable, we look at how to grow it sustainably. That could mean introducing a new product, entering nearby markets, or improving the way sales and marketing are done.
We approach growth with care and intention. Nothing is rushed, and everything we do is grounded in whether it makes real financial and operational sense. Sometimes we explore bolt-on acquisitions. Other times, it's about tightening execution and unlocking more value from what's already there. Either way, we build from the inside out by staying focused on what works.
FAQ
What is Luxry Capital?
Luxry Capital is a private investment firm headquartered in Singapore. The firm focuses on fundamentally strong, operationally sound and capital-efficient businesses across SEA, China and US with potential for sector consolidation, portfolio synergy, and long-term value creation.
Our most recent fund follows a search / private equity model where we raise external capital, conduct a targeted acquisition search, acquire and operate the business ourselves.
What is your investment philosophy?
In general, we invest and incubate businesses with clear value proposition and strong fundamentals.
Specifically, our search fund mandate centers on operational control, capital discipline, and long-term value creation. We acquire companies with proven revenue, healthy EBITDA, and structural inefficiencies that we can improve. We avoid high-burn or speculative venture models.
We like to back durable business models with strong fundamentals and potential for system level improvements. We believe that a standardized framework and consistent execution beats hype every time.
What is a search fund?
A search fund is a private equity model where capital is raised first to find a business to acquire, then to buy and operate that business long term. The key difference from traditional PE is that the acquirer, typically an entrepreneur or operator is directly involved in leading the business post-acquisition.
At Luxry Capital, we execute our own search fund. We raise capital from aligned investors, run the search internally, and step in as full-time owner-operators after the deal is closed. This model is growing rapidly in Southeast Asia due to increasing SME retirement and succession needs with rising demand for operationally focused investment strategies.
What types of businesses do you target?
We look for established SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) within Southeast Asia with:
- EBITDA from SGD 250k to 2M
- Stable, recurring revenue streams
- Clean books and efficient working capital
- Industry tailwinds or consolidation potential
Preferred sectors include:
- B2B services and distribution
- Light manufacturing and contract operations
- Vertical software and infrastructure-light tech
- Legacy businesses ready for modernization
What should I do if I'm a founder looking to exit or sell my company?
If you're a founder or business owner considering an exit, succession plan, or company sale, we'd like to speak with you. Simply send a brief note to hello@luxrygroup.com with a few details about your business including industry, size, current ownership.
If there's a fit, we'll sign an NDA, conduct preliminary diligence, and move into structured discussions quickly. We understand that exiting a business is about more than just price. We'll work with you to ensure continuity, care for your team, and preserve your legacy.
What's the process or terms like?
We typically pursue full acquisitions, with a structured handover period ranging from a few months to one year. In cases where continuity or licensing is important, we may consider partial buyouts, with a minimum threshold of 90% ownership.
We always require some level of seller financing as a signal of alignment and mutual confidence. This helps structure a cleaner transaction and a smoother handover. Final terms are negotiated based on deal size, business complexity, and seller preferences.
Can I invest alongside Luxry Capital? What is your fundraising model?
Yes. We operate a hybrid capital model:
- Committed capital pools for proprietary search fund initiatives
- Private credit deal-by-deal co-investment opportunities for LPs, family offices, and strategic partners
If you're seeking exposure to cashflow-driven private equity in Southeast Asia, we offer access to curated, operator-led transactions with clear reporting, execution visibility, and disciplined capital allocation.

I'm an advisor or broker, can I refer a deal?

We are particularly interested in:
- Off-market or lightly marketed SME opportunities
- Founder-led companies with succession needs
- Asset-light businesses with strong cashflows
