Acquisitions
Time-Critical · Retirement · Financial Distress
We acquire companies across the UK and Europe, working directly with owners and alongside lenders, insolvency practitioners and professional advisors. Every business is different, but the situations we buy into fall into one of three categories.
A sale that can't wait for a conventional process — a funding deadline, a lease event, a departing shareholder, or a window that's about to close. Our capital and decision-making are built to move at the pace the situation demands, with terms agreed in days, not months.
An owner ready to step back, with no family successor or management buyout in place. We offer a clean, confidential exit that protects what's been built — continuity for staff, customers and suppliers — without the long timelines and uncertainty of a conventional sale.
Businesses under real financial pressure: covenant breaches, cash-flow strain, or formal insolvency risk. We work alongside lenders and insolvency practitioners to act with the speed and certainty these situations demand, including accelerated and distressed M&A.
Every enquiry is treated in strict confidence, whatever stage you're at.
