Frequently Asked Questions

Selling your business is a major decision. Below are some of the most common questions we’re asked. If you’d like to discuss your situation in more detail.

  • We are focused on established, profitable businesses in the construction, manufacturing, fabrication, and industrial services sectors. Ideally, the business has been trading for 10+ years, has a strong team in place, and serves a recurring or long-term commercial client base.

  • Not necessarily. We're flexible. Some owners want a clean exit, while others prefer a phased transition over several months. We’re open to either structure and will work with you to agree on a plan that feels right for you and ensures continuity for the business.

  • Our goal is to preserve the integrity of the business including your team, customer relationships, and culture. We’re not interested in cutting costs or making drastic changes. Retaining key people and keeping customers happy is essential to our long-term vision.

  • In most cases, no. We believe in maintaining business identity and continuity, especially when there’s strong brand recognition or customer loyalty. Any changes would be carefully considered and only if mutually agreed upon.

  • Yes, absolutely. Early conversations help us understand your goals and give you clarity on your options. We're happy to stay in touch and move at your pace, whether you're ready now or planning.

  • We work with a committed private investor and trusted finance brokers to secure capital for each transaction. Our funding approach combines equity investment with acquisition finance, allowing us to structure deals responsibly and complete them efficiently.

  • If both parties are aligned and the business is prepared, we can move from heads of terms to completion in as little as 8 to 12 weeks. We keep the process focused, discreet, and free from unnecessary delays.

  • Absolutely. Confidentiality is a core part of our process. We do not share any information with third parties unless required for diligence, and only with your consent. We’re also happy to sign NDAs at the outset of any conversation.

  • Not at all. We’re happy to have an informal, confidential conversation even if you're just exploring options. There’s no pressure or commitment, and you’ll always be speaking directly with the principals.

  • We are operators, not institutional investors. We're not looking to flip businesses or apply short-term cost-cutting. Our model is built on long-term ownership, continuity, and steady growth not rapid exits or aggressive restructuring. You’ll deal directly with decision-makers, not intermediaries.
