Vårbacken Kapital is a family-owned investment company. We are an active owner to small and medium-sized companies.

All our activities are based on our experience, competence, and empathy.

We both have an extensive background in business development. Pasi is a co-founder of August Associates, the leading local strategy consultancy in Finland. During her career, Anni has worked as a consultant, researcher and led consumer analytics development in Sanoma Media Finland. Creating new strategies, accelerating sales, managing finance and modernizing operations with the help of digitalization, data and analytics, are examples of activities that are very familiar to us.

We believe that empathy is also very much needed in business. It means profound understanding of needs and motives of all the stakeholders. Only that way we can make wise decisions in situations like changing a company’s ownership or leading a company to reach new goals.

We are looking for companies with about 1-10 million euros of turnover, preferably more than 10 employees, and a solid track record of profitability. Service industries and trade are of special interest to us, as well as highly specialized manufacturing companies. A strong competitive advantage or a good foundation to build one is the most important criterion for our target companies.

Our share of ownership varies case by case. The key is that we can actively contribute to the development of our target companies. And significantly increase their value. We do not make passive minority investments, nor are we a startup investor.

If you are interested in taking your company to the next level or have considered selling your company, don’t hesitate to contact us. Let’s talk.
