DonRise Capital acquires profitable, established businesses with existing management — injecting capital, strategy, and operational rigour to compound growth without the founder burning out.
High-quality garages and commercial vehicle workshops that have spent years building a reputation, a loyal B2B client base, and a team that runs without the owner holding every wrench. The business works — it just needs the right capital and strategy to reach its next level.
We acquire those businesses. We keep the existing management. We bring capital, systems, and strategic direction. The result: the business keeps doing what it does well — just better, bigger, and without the owner's ceiling.
Primary focus: Commercial vehicle maintenance & repair in the Greater Dublin area. B2B fleet services with consistent revenue, established management, and clear scaling potential.
Management stays. We bring the capital and strategy to scale what's already working.
Contract-based, recurring revenue from fleet operators, utilities, and insurers.
Injecting working capital and strategic firepower to expand facilities and contracts.
First acquisition is the anchor. Subsequent roll-ups compound margins and market share.
A disciplined three-phase approach to building a market-leading platform in the Irish commercial vehicle sector.
Target profitable, well-run businesses with reliable B2B revenue streams and owners ready to exit. Finance through a mix of PE capital and seller financing — preserving cash and aligning incentives.
Keep existing management and staff — they know the business. Install an experienced COO to oversee operations, freeing the technical team to focus on what they do best while we handle growth.
Expand facilities, win larger fleet contracts, and pursue strategic add-on acquisitions. Each subsequent acquisition consolidates market position and improves margin through shared infrastructure.
We move fast when the fit is right. Here's our ideal acquisition profile.
Consistent contracts with fleet operators, insurers, or utility companies — not reliant on walk-in trade.
Owner is not "on the tools." A capable team can run day-to-day operations without the owner present.
10+ years in business, ready to retire or reduce involvement. Open to seller financing.
Right-sized for our capital structure. Able to support debt service and growth investment.
Targeting Dublin and surrounding counties — commutable for oversight, deep local market knowledge.
Identifiable levers for growth: underutilised capacity, new contracts, expanded service lines, or add-ons.
We are actively evaluating opportunities. If you own or know a business that fits, we'd love to talk.
Targeting well-established garages with existing B2B fleet contracts, existing management, and growth potential through expanded facilities and contract wins.
Open to complementary businesses with similar characteristics — essential services, B2B revenue, strong moats, and motivated sellers.
Connected to industry insiders who understand the ecosystem — insurers, operators, and financiers.
Driving deal sourcing, financing strategy, and long-term vision. Experienced in business development and value creation.
Connected to one of Ireland's largest insurers — providing deep insights into the auto repair claims ecosystem and repairer economics.
Building relationships with experienced operators who can run acquired businesses day-to-day while we focus on strategy and acquisitions.
Whether you're an owner looking to exit, a broker with a lead, or an investor wanting to learn more — let's talk.
All conversations treated in strict confidence.
