Ziptoil Holdings is a holding company based in Ottawa, ON that acquires cash flowing subsidiaries for the long term.
Our focus is on buying blue collar businesses where we can create shareholder value by way of organic growth in our portfolio companies and new acquisitions.
We invest our own capital allowing us to make decisions without the pressure of predetermined investor time horizons like those in a fund.
We are actively looking for:
Owners, founders, family businesses, and contractors aligned with our vision that are motivated to de-risk and partner with or sell to Ziptoil
Operators and managers looking to run and grow a subsidiary company
Investors looking to sponsor a private business directly versus through a fund
LEADERSHIP
