Private Equity
Our strengths lie in identifying distressed businesses, acquiring them, then improving and restructuring the company to add strategic value.
Investment approach
As an investment company, we focus on identifying struggling companies or distressed business owners, acquiring the whole business or the assets, then improving and restructuring the company to add strategic value.
We tend to identify businesses with a turnover in excess of £100,000 with an established track record and loyal clients. Businesses will typically have one or more sources of recurring income streams, billable to clients in a systemised way. Businesses will have robust, salaried management in situ.

Acquire a business
Identify, secure and acquire a financially challenged company. Take over the assets and liabilities into a new corporate structure.
Improve the business
We work to improve operations, accelerate growth, reduce costs and manage risk within the new company structure.
Exit strategy
We analyse the new business and see where we can create synergies with our other investments. Then decide whether to retain or exit.
Do you want to exit your business?
Do you own a business that’s struggling? Or need to exit your business quickly? Or perhaps you know someone that does?
We are prepared to work with business owners who need to sell their business, or that have a troubled financial situation. Business owners we work with are prepared to:
- Hand over their business to us
- Accept a reasonable, but fair, valuation
- Understand that we will take care of their business
- Work with us in the early stages to help maintain a smooth transition
We are not a business broker, we buy small and medium-sized businesses from owners who wish to sell or exit the business.
