A UK-based group focused on investing in SME’s, supporting the next phase of growth and providing flexible and tailored solutions for business owners
About Us
Our heritage is in creative solutions to business acquisitions, with experience ranging across retiree succession, unique acquisition structures, “carve-outs” and other scenarios that may not be straight forward.
Drawing on experience from successfully completing multiple M&A transactions for SME's in the UK and across Europe (both acquisitions and divestments), we know what it takes to complete transactions, particularly the importance of deliverability.
We recognise people are at the heart of organisations, and work to ensure livelihoods and create new opportunities for growth, with success measured beyond purely financial metrics.
Our strategy is to work hand-in-hand with existing businesses, augmenting already great companies and supporting the next phase of growth within our group.
We have access to funding through personal capital and institutional investors.
Approach to acquisitions
We look for real businesses, that provide critical products and services to vital sectors (Energy, Healthcare, Defence etc.).
To support our execution, we bring in trusted industry experts and advisors from our broad network, who bring a wealth of knowledge on their sector and in empowering existing teams to continue their growth.
Deliverability and trust are key to our approach. We know the significance of a transaction, the work that goes into preparing a sale and the strain it can put on the business. That’s why we stick to our word, and seek to give owners the reassurance they need.
We take a flexible approach to reaching an agreement, with flexibility on payment terms, transition periods, post-sale involvement and any other items important to owners.
Our legacy is deeply embedded in transactions, working on many completed acquisitions and providing successful outcomes to business owners and Management teams.
We work closely with all stakeholders to ensure an efficient process, allowing us to help tailor a solution right for each business and reduce excess advisor costs.
Focus
Size
We’re focused on acquiring UK SME’s (up to £5m profit), across critical sectors (Energy, Healthcare, Defence etc.).
Ownership
We can transact with both owner-managed and independently owned / run businesses.
Complexity
We are well accustomed to non-straightforward scenarios, and pride ourselves on the ability to solve complex dynamics in a way which works for all stakeholders.
Growth
Whilst we’re able to look through complexity, we are focused on driving growth and are not suited to urgent, distressed transactions.
