How they work
Crescit Capital is a private investment firm headquartered in Melbourne, deploying long-term capital into established industrial, engineering and essential-services businesses across Australia, New Zealand and India, with select global transactions. Founded/led by Managing Director Rishi Yerra, the firm positions itself as combining institutional investment rigour with family-office-style patient, long-term ownership (no fixed fund life, no forced exits) for founder/family-owned industrial businesses facing succession.
A seller or adviser can approach Crescit through a general enquiry channel on its website. Once invested, it describes working alongside existing management rather than replacing it, with no fixed exit timeline and no forced sale. It states success is measured over decades rather than against a fund clock, with co-investment capacity available for larger transactions. Public materials do not set out a stage-by-stage process, diligence checklist or signing timetable from initial enquiry to close.
