Each one is an ownership position taken on HMH Investing's own account, held for income and for the long term.
If your situation fits one of these, an email describing it in a few paragraphs is enough to get a real answer.
Majority or minority stakes in established Australian operating companies with a real trading record — trades and contracting, light manufacturing, distribution, transport and business services.
We prefer businesses with a management team already in place and a customer base that predates any conversation with us.
Freehold industrial sheds, yards, workshops and shopfronts bought for the income a sound tenant produces and for the underlying land value.
Sale-and-leaseback suits a lot of owners here: you release the capital tied up in the building and keep trading from it on a long lease.
Productive rural land and unimproved parcels held on long horizons, generally leased back to established local operators who know the country.
We are buying the ground, not a farming business, and we are content for the people already working it to keep working it.
The company's treasury: listed securities and cash held so that an acquisition can be funded without borrowing against an existing holding.
This is HMH Investing's own balance sheet only. It is not a fund and no external money sits in it.
Buying from owners who are stepping back and want the business to continue rather than be stripped for parts or merged into a competitor.
Settlement can be staged, and a hand-over period where the outgoing owner stays on for a season is normal rather than exceptional.
Taking a position alongside an operator or another family company where our capital completes a purchase that neither party would make alone.
Once a holding is in place we carry the ownership work: records, ASIC and tax obligations, insurance, and reporting back to any co-owner.
The same five stages apply whether the asset is a workshop, a paddock or a parcel of shares.
An email describing the asset, roughly what it earns, and what you want to happen to it. No data room and no broker pack required at this point.
We come back with a yes or a no to a closer look. If it is a no, you get the reason, so you can take it to the next buyer already knowing the objection.
Accounts, title and leases, plant and stock, and time on site with the people running it. Confidential throughout, and confined to what is needed to price the thing.
A written offer setting out price, structure, timing and any hand-over arrangement, then settlement through both parties' solicitors under Victorian law.
The asset joins the portfolio and the ownership obligations become ours: filings, insurance, maintenance of records, and support for the operating team.
Being specific about this saves everybody time:
HMH Investing Pty Ltd invests its own capital. Nothing on this page is financial product advice, an offer to acquire or dispose of a financial product, or a recommendation to any person. Seek your own licensed advice before acting.
That is all we need to tell you whether it is worth taking further.
