Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of businesses do you typically acquire?

    We are industry-agnostic but have a strong interest in Manufacturing, B2B Services, Construction, E- commerce, and Healthcare. The ideal business has a UK base, a turnover between £500,000 and £5 million, and potential for growth or operational improvement.

  • Do I need to stay involved in the business after the sale?

    Not necessarily. We’re flexible. Some founders choose a clean exit, while others stay on for a transition period or in an advisory role. We tailor the deal structure to your preferences.

  • What if my business is currently struggling?

    We specialize in turning around underperforming businesses. If your company has solid fundamentals but is facing challenges, we can provide capital and strategic direction to stabilize and grow.

  • How long does the acquisition process take?

    From initial conversation to completion, the process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. We aim to move quickly and transparently, minimizing disruption to your operations.

  • Will my team and brand be preserved post-acquisition?

    Yes, we value what you've built. Our approach is to protect and enhance your legacy — keeping the existing team, culture, and brand where it makes sense, while adding strategic value for long-term growth.
