Helping small business owners cement their legacies for the long-term.
Our Mission
Our Mission
We are an owner/operator group that buys and grows UK small businesses with the intent of never selling. We work with owners to pass on their legacies to a new permanent home — Long Partners.
We aim to operate the company onsite alongside existing employees. With us, there is no lengthy transition period, no moving the company location, no employee downsizing, and no integration into a larger entity.

ABOUT
ABOUT
Long Partners is led by David Nefs, who lives in Romford with his wife, Charlotte, and young sons, Freddie and Tommy.
David started his career at Bain & Company where he worked across a range of industries before leading growth (marketing, sales and analytics) at a number of small businesses over the last 10 years, managing budgets ranging from £100k+ to £10M+ and teams ranging from less than 5 to over 50 people.
In 2021 he established Long Partners with the ambition of using this broad experience to good use in supporting small businesses transitioning from retiring owners.
