Buyers and Long-Term Buildersof Recurring Revenue Businesses.

Overview

What We Do.

Newbury Franklin buys US-based multi-location businesses and uses its operating know-how to help them grow.

We “buy and build” companies, rather than “buy and flip” them, staying flexible on leadership changes and partnering with existing management teams to drive strong outcomes.

How We Operate

The NF Way.

We have been business leaders ourselves, not just investors, and that’s what we bring to the table as partners. We use a proven approach, The NF Way, to drive growth. We are dogmatic about building a cohesive firm (not a portfolio of disparate assets) using a consistent operating system, built on four enduring pillars.

Talent

“The best team wins.”

Business is all about the people: a conviction, not a platitude.

Accountability Map. Clear lines of responsibility, CEO to front line.
Talent Reviews & Development. Twice-yearly reviews on values, will, and skills.
Topgrading. Rigorous, scorecard-driven hiring and reference checks.

Strategy

“Remove the guesswork.”

A proven operating system aligned around how we intend to win.

Business Operating System. Scaling Up / Rockefeller Habits, run with fidelity.
Strategy Principles. Jim Collins tools: BHAG, Hedgehog, Flywheel.
Executive Coach. CEO resource to implement the operating system and strategy principles.

Execution

“Routine sets you free.”

We are on a 20-year march, systematic in what we control.

Essential Meeting Rhythm. A cadence from daily huddles to annual resets keeps us aligned.
World-Class Boards. Experienced directors challenge us every quarter.

Results

“What gets measured gets done.”

A scoreboard everyone understands and performs against.

KPI Scorecard. Critical numbers, reviewed daily, with a single owner for each.
Robust Reporting. Strong finance functions; timely, accurate numbers.
Annual Audit. Sharpen the sword every year with a review of fidelity to each pillar.

We do not guarantee business outcomes, but we promise a consistent, earnest, and scalable approach to our work.

Purpose

Our Why.

We believe the world is made better by the rare breed of people who have the gumption to bet on themselves. We consider it a profound privilege to be in their corner as they undertake their life’s work to build an enduring business that future generations will be proud of.

Philosophy

What We Believe.

Enduringly great companies are built over decades, not years.

Responsible owners recognize this and set up their business for the long haul.

Guided by this principle, Newbury Franklin acquires and builds companies with no plan to sell. This mindset, and our capital structure, keeps us focused on building value over decades.

We are industry agnostic but disciplined, purchasing multi-location business models with industry characteristics that fit our criteria.
