Persatt Systems makes investments in small to middle size companies and then proactively helps you to achieve your growth objectives.
Our name Persatt is derived from two words - perseverance and attitude. Perseverance is the ability to keep on going when all around you are giving up. Attitude is the ability to see the potential in every challenge, and to enjoy every day along the way.
Our fundamental belief is that these are the two primary qualities for successful entrepreneurs who are growing their company - make the plan, work the plan, and enjoy the journey.
