A buyer for the business you’ve built
For owners selling all or part of their business
Who we work with
We work with owners of established, profitable UK businesses who are ready for a change of ownership, whether that means retiring, handing over to management, or selling a stake and staying on to take the business further. We are a direct buyer, not a broker, and we look for the right fit with your business, culture and team as much as the numbers.
Our promise to you
- Certainty: a clear written offer, funded from our own resources, with diligence focused on what matters.
- Speed: we can move quickly and work to your timetable.
- Respect: your people, customers and name stay at the heart of the business.
What we look for
We are open to most sectors, with a lean towards industrials and business services. What matters is the business itself:
- Consistent profitability over several years, typically £1m to £5m EBITDA
- Loyal, diversified customers and a strong reputation
- Balanced supplier relationships
- Good margins and reliable cash conversion
- Manageable working capital and investment needs
- A team with the knowledge to carry the business forward
- Room to grow through technology, efficiency or new customers
How we structure an offer
Every offer is built around what you want from the sale. Most combine a substantial payment in cash at completion with the balance paid over time, and owners who stay on can keep a stake. We explain how we reach our price, so you and your adviser can see exactly what is on the table.
