JMH Investments takes minority and majority positions in established, cash-generative South African companies — across retail, automotive, hospitality, property and events. We bring patient capital, real operating experience and a two-decade record of building and exiting businesses. If you're thinking of selling your company, or want to invest alongside us, let's talk.
JMH Investments backs proven South African businesses and the people who run them. We invest our own capital with no fund clock and no forced exit — so we can structure each deal around what the business actually needs, and stay for as long as it takes.
We take the position that fits the opportunity — from a minority stake to full ownership — so owners can raise growth capital, bring in a partner, or exit completely.
Our involvement flexes to the business: a light-touch capital partner where the team is strong, or full operational leadership where that's what's required.
We invest our own money for the long term, free of the timelines that force other investors to sell. Good businesses are allowed to compound.
A diversified portfolio of established South African businesses — spanning premium retail, automotive, hospitality, property and events.
Established in 1976, one of South Africa's most respected premium liquor retailers — curated selection, expert service and a national network of destination stores, now expanding across the continent.
A group of Car Service City automotive operations — three vehicle-servicing franchises in Sandton, Edenvale and Woodmead, two car washes in Woodmead and Sandton, and a dedicated automotive body-repair facility.
A private, members-only whisky club for collectors and connoisseurs — an exclusive community built around rare and remarkable whisky.
A commercial property holding of approximately 14,000 m² of warehouse and office space — a tangible, income-generating anchor within the portfolio.
A full-service events business conceiving and delivering polished corporate and private events, from concept and staging through to flawless execution.
We consider minority and majority positions in well-run, cash-generative South African businesses. If that sounds like yours, we'd like to hear from you.
Beyond today's portfolio, our founder has spent two decades backing, building and successfully exiting South African businesses. A selection:
Founded in 2025 and sold in 2026 — a premium ice manufacturer built and exited within a year.
Backed as a second-round investor in 2019. Acquired by Pick n Pay in 2021 and relaunched as Pick n Pay asap! — one of South Africa's largest on-demand delivery services.
Co-founded in 2004 and grown into a substantial residential property portfolio, realised on a successful exit in 2021.
A single Motherland Coffee franchise, owned and operated from 2015 until its sale in 2019.
Founded in 2011 and built into an established career-management specialist, sold in 2013.
The track record above reflects the personal investing history of JMH Investments' founder, including businesses backed before JM Holdco (Pty) Ltd was incorporated in 2020.
Jason McEvoy has spent more than twenty years investing in, building and exiting South African businesses. He founded JMH Investments to bring that experience together in a single, permanent home for long-term capital.
He invests with an owner's mindset — backing durable, well-run companies across the real economy, structuring each deal around the business, and rolling up his sleeves wherever it helps. His experience spans retail, property, hospitality, technology and franchising, from early-stage bets to established operators.
Whether you're an owner considering a sale, a founder seeking a growth partner, or an investor looking to co-invest, we welcome a direct and confidential conversation.
