FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What size of business do you acquire or invest in?
We consider opportunities from £1m to £50m in turnover, across most sectors.
How quickly can you move?
Indicative terms are typically agreed within two working days of first contact; full completion depends on complexity.
Do you buy businesses outright, or invest alongside existing owners?
Both. Depending on the situation we'll acquire outright, take an equity stake, or provide lending or structured finance.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. Every enquiry — from an owner, lender, insolvency practitioner or advisor — is treated in strict confidence from first contact through to completion.
Do you work with insolvency practitioners on accelerated or distressed sales?
Yes — we regularly support insolvency practitioners on time-critical and distressed M&A.
Which sectors do you cover?
We're sector-agnostic — we assess every opportunity on its fundamentals, not its industry.
What areas do you cover?
UK and Europe, with offices in London and Mahón, Spain.
