We invest with a long-term mindset, unconstrained by fixed timelines. Backed by permanent capital, we can hold indefinitely, act quickly, and support partners through cycles. This flexibility allows us to focus on enduring value creation, building resilient firms that thrive across generations rather than chasing short-term results.
How Are We Different?
PATIENT CAPITAL
ALIGNED PARTNER
We only make 'partnership style' investments—acquiring a majority stake while leadership retains meaningful ownership. In professional services, we believe those who create value every day should remain owners. This ensures accountability, alignment, and shared commitment, while preserving continuity in leadership, culture, and client relationships for the long term.
DAILY FREEDOM
We operate in a non-bureaucratic, entrepreneurial way and encourage our partners to do the same. Leadership teams maintain full control over daily operations, safeguarding culture and reputation. This autonomy fosters accountability and innovation, while allowing firms to build on their unique strengths with the stability of our global platform.
FOCUSED STRATEGY
We are dedicated exclusively to professional services, consulting, advisory, and other people-driven businesses. By focusing on these industries, we bring deep insight into the drivers of long-term success—client trust, talent development, and reputation. This focus enables us to be a strategic, aligned partner for growth, succession, and innovation.
LEVERAGE NETWORKS
We bring exceptional global relationships across world-leading advisory, consulting and professional services firms. These networks enable our partners to access new markets, pursue collaborations, and strengthen client relationships worldwide. By connecting firms with complementary capabilities, we help accelerate growth and create enduring value across our global platform.
Our Partnership Approach
We identify, invest in and help grow great consulting, advisory and professional services businesses owned and managed by proven entrepreneurial leaders.
Typically we are control investors. While our operating partners retain authority over the day-to-day management of the business, HennickCo creates value by enhancing operational effectiveness, pursuing add on acquisitions, and leveraging our knowledge and global relationships to accelerate growth.
Because our focus is on providing intensive support to operating partners who want to grow their enterprise, we complete only a handful of investments per year. We are not on the senior management team, nor do we direct daily decision making. We are available when you need us, not when we think you need us.
We are eager to hear about businesses which:
- Demonstrate consistent and long-term earning power
- Have proven management teams willing to retain equity
- Are growth oriented and highly scalable
