About Us

About Our Company

We specialise in finding business acquisition opportunities that fit with individuals management and career experience, including their desired future direction.

We can introduce private investors who have indicated a willingness to support specific situations within given parameters agreed with us based on their risk appetite and investment level.

We believe finding companies is done by hard work and detailed research. It is also about having the right contacts and connections. Being in the right place at the right time or creating the contact that means you get the call when the time is right especially when a vendor is ready to make a confidential sale.

Off market businesses are being sold more frequently given the right buyer can be presented who is aware of the deal parameters and the vendors expectations. This way the vendor avoids the risk of a full sale marketing campaign and some vendors prefer this divestment route option.

We have buyers who have registered their interest in finding business opportunities which have been profiled and fully vetted for their ability to complete transactions within certain financial parameters. These buyers we are aware of, can be approached if you are selling your business.

We have 25 years years experience of acquiring businesses in manufacturing including engineering, electrical, electronics, chemicals, plastics, power generation and many other business sectors.

We have also acquired companies in the service sector involving haulage and logistics, HR/recruitment, distribution businesses, IT and internet service companies.
