Your Investment Partner
Our Purpose
Independent businesses are an important part of the local communities and economies that they serve; providing best in class service that far exceeds that of the nationals. At Troy, we understand one of the challenges to compete against these competitors is budget and access to expensive tools and skillsets. This is where we come in - to support, help and ensure the independents thrive.
Our Mission
We champion independents by levelling the playing field. We offer services that deliver growth, efficiency, people empowerment, and investment.
Our Proposition
We deliver that mission through four key services: our world class buying group, our business services offering, our people network, and our investment platform.

Next Steps
Whether you are interested in Troy becoming your investment partner or not, the Troy Group is here to support you as an independent business. Should acquisition not be right for you, then many of these services are available through our Troy Business Services offering on a subscription and pay-for-services basis. Details of these services can be found on myTroy or via your Business Development Manager (BDM).
There are many reasons why our members decide to sell their business to Troy; often it is driven by a lifestyle choice coupled with the strong relationship that they have with us through their years of membership.
Although, more than that, we believe that one of the main drivers is our shared values – with the independent at the heart of everything we do. We want to do what is right for each business and develop on the significant impact that has already been realised within the local community that they serve.
Whether it is to enhance your Troy membership with the support outlined previously, or to enquire about Troy becoming an investment partner, please contact your Business Development Manager. Please do not hesitate to contact us, even if at this stage you are just curious, we are here to answer all your questions.
