We know what “good” looks like in the businesses we back

We focus on established B2B industrial and technical services businesses in the UK and EU that generate £1–10m of EBITDA, have resilient and predictable cash flows, and provide essential products or services with low disruption risk.

We particularly value companies with diversified customer and supplier bases, strong reputations, and offerings that are important to customers despite representing only a modest portion of their total spend.

Typical situations include founder succession and retirement sales, management buyouts, or corporate carve-outs, where the right ownership and support can unlock meaningful growth and operational improvement.

We screen targets alongside 9 criteria

We like defensive assets with recurring cash flow and structural growth tailwinds
