Your legacy, carried forward
When it's time to pass on your company, it deserves a committed, long-term successor. Vire Capital acquires a single well-run Finnish company, takes the helm and builds on what you've created, with care for your employees and customers.
Thousands of profitable small and medium-sized Finnish companies will need a successor in the coming years. They are too mature for growth investors, and the private equity model isn't necessarily the right fit for them.
I founded Vire Capital to fill this gap. I will acquire one company and lead it hands-on as its owner and CEO. I believe a well-run business is an excellent foundation for new growth.
How it works
One company, full focus
Many investors spread their attention across several companies. I'm responsible for just one. Developing a business well requires knowing it inside out, from customers to the supply chain. That takes time and hands-on involvement.
A long-term owner, not a fund
Private equity firms typically sell their companies after 3-6 years. I have no predetermined exit timeline. I make decisions for the company's long-term success, not for a future sale.
An experienced team
I'm backed by experienced investors and successful entrepreneurs from Finland and abroad. They help finance the acquisition, serve on the board, act as advisors and open up their extensive networks to the company.
I'm looking for a profitable, well-managed Finnish company with a long history and a strong reputation. As the owner, you may have spent decades building the company, and you want to see it thrive in the future too.
Does this sound like your company? Get in touch – an initial conversation comes with no obligation.

Anna Kaukkila
Founder, Vire Capital
Before founding Vire Capital, I served as Head of Strategy at Finnish Design Shop, where I built new businesses for international markets, including the US. Before that, I worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, focusing on private equity and corporate development in Finland and abroad. I started my career at J.P. Morgan in London, advising clients on M&A, IPOs and other transactions.
I hold an MSc in Economics and Business from Erasmus University Rotterdam, majoring in finance and accounting.
After the acquisition, I will step in as CEO and be hands-on in the business every day.
Most owners sell a company only once in their lifetime. That's why I'm upfront about what happens at each stage. Nothing is binding until the purchase agreement is signed, and your advisors are always welcome.
Getting to know each other
We start with a conversation – you don't need to prepare anything. If you'd like to take things further, I'd be glad to visit the company in person.
Indicative offer
You'll receive a written, non-binding offer with a price range and a proposed deal structure. You can review it at your own pace with your accountant or advisor.
Due diligence and signing
Together, we take a closer look at the company's finances, contracts and operations. Finally, we set out the agreed terms in a purchase agreement and sign the deal.
Transition
I take over according to a plan we create together, and we agree on how long and in what role you'd like to stay involved.
I'm happy to meet entrepreneurs and owners, whether you're thinking of selling now or years from now. All conversations are confidential, and a first meeting comes with no obligation.
