Thinking About Selling Your Business in the Next 1–5 Years?
We help New Zealand business owners exit on their terms — without the noise, brokers, or corporate games.
We’re Business Builders, Not Brokers
Newbold is a privately held investment company.
We acquire small-to-mid-sized NZ businesses and operate them for the long term — using modern strategy, elite execution, and founder-first values.
This is not about private equity rollups or quick flips.
This is about building enduring businesses and giving owners like you a clean, respectful exit.
We’re owner-operators, not financial engineers
We’ve built businesses ourselves — so we understand what matters beyond the numbers.

Why Owners Work With Us
“I’m not sure if I’m ready yet.”
We meet you where you are — even years before you’re ready to sell — so you’re never rushed into a bad decision.
“I care what happens to my staff and customers.”
We preserve your legacy by protecting your team, serving your customers, and building on what you’ve created.
“I’ve built something solid, but I know it could be more.”
We bring the execution firepower to take your business to the next level — systems, growth, and all.
“I don’t want to go public or deal with brokers.”
We buy businesses quietly and directly, saving you from months of listings, negotiations, and fees.
“I want to exit cleanly — or step back gradually.”
We structure flexible deals that fit your lifestyle — whether you want to walk away or stay involved in a smaller role.
“I don’t want to get lowballed by someone who doesn’t get it.”
As business owners ourselves, we speak your language — and make fair offers grounded in reality.

Building a business takes decades
Exiting it shouldn’t feel rushed, confusing, or full of regret.
At Newbold, we focus on acquiring businesses from NZ owners who are looking for a fair, discreet, and straightforward transition — often without listing the business publicly.
If you’re thinking about stepping back (this year or in the next few), I’d love to hear your story. No pressure. No BS. Just a real conversation.
