Our purpose

Genshare is a succession solution for retiring small business owners, and an ownership pathway for next generation leaders.

Business owner

The twofold challenge

01

Almost 50% of Australia’s business owners are reaching retirement age and have no clear succession pathway.

02

The next generation of leaders struggle to access the capital to buy small businesses.

The Genshare solution

Our AI-powered technology supports acquisitions and transactions, talent sourcing and matching, and business planning and monitoring.

  • We buy small businesses – turning over $2 million to $10 million – from retiring or outgoing owners.

  • We identify and integrate next generation leaders into the businesses, and provide learning and development opportunities.

  • We provide a pathway to majority business ownership for the new leaders and other key team members. Genshare maintains a minority ownership position for the long term.

  • Genshare businesses benefit from network and scale economies as our portfolio continues to grow.

We match great talent to great businesses.

We keep good businesses in business

Our model ensures that retiring business owners reap the rewards of their hard work, and allows for the continued employment of their teams.

We’ve been building businesses for over 20 years. Along the way we’ve grown teams from 2 people to well over 100, spearheaded international expansions, and taken new technology products to market. A common thread: businesses thrive when people are rewarded for the value they create.
