Zetes Imaran Capital (“Z.I cap”) is a US and UK-based search fund dedicated to acquiring and growing established small and medium-sized businesses. We partner with founders who are ready to transition out of day-to-day leadership, offering them a succession solution that protects what they’ve built while preparing the business for the next chapter.
Our name reflects our dual mission: Zetes, derived from the Greek word meaning to seek, represents our pursuit of opportunity, clarity, and purposeful transition. Imaran, rooted in the meaning of deep knowledge, reflects our commitment to thoughtful decision-making, enduring relationships, and a long-term vision for growth. Together, Zetes Imaran Capital stands for the blend of curiosity and wisdom required to honour the past while building for the future.
Many business owners find themselves facing a crossroads—ready to step back, but without a clear succession path or liquidity option. We exist to bridge that gap. Our goal is to help owners transition out with confidence, knowing their company will be in capable hands.
Zetes Imaran Capital provides more than capital—we bring fresh energy, operational focus, and a commitment to preserving the core of what makes a business special. We specialise in scaling traditional companies with modern tools, embedding smart technology and AI where it creates lasting value. Our approach is personal, deliberate, and aligned with the legacy of the founder.
