What we look for
We partner with founders of profitable, asset-light businesses where recurring customer relationships and strong operational discipline are already in place.
Our typical partner generates £300k–£3M in annual revenue, has demonstrated resilience and customer retention, and operates where technology sophistication is still emerging — creating real opportunity for long-term value creation.
Acquisition criteria
Businesses whose value lies in customer relationships, recurring contracts or intellectual property — not in equipment, fleet or real estate.
Strong repeat customer base or multi-year contracts. Low churn. Revenue is predictable, contracted or subscription-based — not project-driven or one-off.
Operators in industries with no dominant player. Local, regional or niche positioning with the opportunity to bring multiple independent businesses under one platform.
Founded and built by an operator. Already profitable and cash-generative. Doesn't need fixing — needs scaling and infrastructure investment.
Strong operational fundamentals but limited digital presence or marketing sophistication, where technology enablement and scaled customer acquisition can drive material value creation.
£300k–£3M revenue, £150k–£1M EBITDA. Margins of 15%+ with clear runway for expansion. Proven unit economics and stable cash generation.
Founder profile
Operators who have built profitable, stable businesses and want to scale.
Typically founders with 10–20 years in their market, deep customer relationships and a motivation to transition or grow. We look for founders who care about customer satisfaction and operational excellence — and see technology and scale as the next frontier.
Why partner with us

Who we don't work with
Our sweet spot is stable, profitable, founder-built businesses where we can layer in infrastructure, technology and consolidation opportunities.
