We buy, enhance and grow owner managed businesses
If you are thinking about selling your business, we can move quickly to help you exit with strong value.
We have committed funding in place and are currently seeking new opportunities. We aim to make your exit as smooth as possible by delivering a quick, efficient and discrete transaction that works for you, your directors and your employees.
Secure your legacy
Without the pressure of external investors, we exercise the patience needed to nurture highly successful businesses. With our experience operating SMEs, your business is safe with us.
Look after your key personnel
We appreciate that running a business is a team effort. We invest in companies where there will be management continuity and incentivise them to share in our success.
Avoid brokering fees and the hassle that may come with them
We cut out the middlemen and allow you to sell your business quickly and confidentially. When you contact us, you will be dealing directly with the people making the investment.
Get the right deal for you
We understand that many factors will influence your decision to sell. We consider both full and partial exits and deal sympathetically with property matters to let you exit in a manner that suits both you and your team.
As owner-managers ourselves, we are extremely flexible and versatile in our approach but we generally invest in businesses with the following features:
Family-owned / owner-managed businesses
We acquire established businesses with a strong trading history
Core leadership continuity
We work with experienced management teams, post-transaction
Manufacturing or engineering expertise
We invest in technical companies with skilled workers
Freehold or leasehold premises
We prefer to buy but will rent, with an option to purchase
Differentiated market position
We look for USPs such as patents, skills or capital asset intensity
EBIDTA in the range of £400,000 to £1,500,000
Smaller EBIDTA levels may be considered, with strong sector fit
We want you to be as proud of your company in the future as you are today.
We will work with your existing management team to retain your values and build upon the history and reputation you have already established.
Selling your business to us brings new opportunities for your company, your staff and your customers.
