Do we buy businesses like yours?

Our criteria are straightforward. If your business fits, we'd like to hear from you — even if it isn't currently profitable.

✓

We're likely a good fit if…

  • Your business sells to other businesses (B2B)
  • You're in supply, services or manufacturing
  • Turnover is between £1m and £10m
  • Or gross profit exceeds £500k, even at a loss
  • You're based in England or Wales
  • You want a quick, confidential, no-fee process
✕

We're probably not the right fit if…

  • Your business is primarily consumer-facing (B2C)
  • Turnover is below £1m (even if you're not profitable)
  • You're in retail, hospitality or leisure
🏭

Sector — B2B supply, services & manufacturing

We buy businesses that sell to other businesses — not to consumers. The sectors we focus on are:

Supply & distribution — businesses that source and supply goods to trade customers, whether as a wholesaler, distributor, or specialist supplier.

Services — B2B service businesses of all kinds: FM, maintenance, recruitment, professional services, outsourced functions, technical services and similar.

Manufacturing — businesses that make things, whether bespoke or volume, for trade or industrial customers.

If you're unsure whether your business fits, just get in touch. We'd rather have a short conversation than have you rule yourself out unnecessarily.

Financial size — turnover or gross profit

We use two measures, and your business only needs to meet one of them:

£1m – £10m Annual turnover
> £500k Annual gross profit — even if not profitable

If your gross profit exceeds £500k, we want to hear from you regardless of your headline turnover or profitability.

Profitability is not a requirement. We understand that many good businesses go through difficult periods — rising costs, lost contracts, management challenges, or simply a sector downturn. If your business has strong underlying revenues or gross profit but is currently loss-making, please do not let that put you off getting in touch. We look at the business as a whole, not just the bottom line.

Geography — England & Wales

We currently buy businesses operating in England and Wales only.

✓ England ✓ Wales ✕ Scotland ✕ Northern Ireland

This applies to where the business is registered and primarily operates — not the location of individual customers. If you supply customers nationally but your business is based in England or Wales, you qualify.

A short conversation — no paperwork, no pressure.
