The firm takes controlling positions in established companies and works alongside management to improve them, in growth as well as in restructuring and turnaround situations.
Nemus was founded by principals whose careers span financial markets, corporate finance and industrial operations, in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. They have run businesses as well as owned them: setting budgets, restructuring cost bases, rebuilding supply chains, opening new markets and leading management teams through change.
That experience covers the full range of corporate situations: funding and scaling profitable growth, driving continuous improvement and cost reduction in established operations, and stabilising companies in distress while returning them to health.
Nemus concentrates on a small number of positions and commits its principals to each one. The work is done inside the business, directly with management: production footprint, cost structure, distribution and international sales on the operating side; capital structure and key stakeholder negotiations on the financial side.
Where the balance sheet is the constraint, Nemus applies the same discipline. Its principals have led complex financial restructurings across several jurisdictions, working constructively with creditors, institutions and public authorities to reach agreed outcomes, and have put the companies concerned back on a sustainable, profitable footing.
Nemus is sector agnostic: the situation, not the industry, determines interest. In both kinds of work the discipline is the same: control of the situation, a plan agreed with management, rigorous execution and accountability for results.
Established companies with proven products, defensible market positions and headroom for operational improvement.
Nemus supports international expansion, distribution build-out, manufacturing optimisation and disciplined acquisition, in private companies and in publicly listed ones.
Fundamentally sound businesses constrained by their balance sheet, cost base or ownership.
Nemus principals have led balance-sheet restructurings across jurisdictions, reaching agreed outcomes with creditors and, where required, navigating formal procedures. The financial work runs alongside the operational: strict cost reduction initiatives under committed ownership, bringing companies through as profitable going concerns.
Nemus invests transaction by transaction, with its principals' own capital committed in every deal. For larger transactions, the firm invests alongside private equity firms, family offices and asset managers.
Nemus principals are professional problem solvers: tested in high-stakes situations across multiple jurisdictions, with creditors, courts and governments at the table – measured by the results they deliver for investors.
