We buy and build small businesses
Edinburgh-based. Legacy-focused. Long-term operators.
Thinking of Selling?Investment Focus
We acquire small, profitable UK service businesses with recurring or repeatable revenue. We focus on essential services that have stood the test of time, particularly in fragmented industries that can benefit from a roll-up strategy and operational consolidation.
“We buy stable, service-driven companies that people rely on - whether it's a business client or a homeowner.”
Our Approach
We take a long-term, collaborative approach to acquisition and ownership. Our goal is to preserve what's working, support the team, and grow the business steadily over time. We're flexible, direct, and relationship-driven. We lean on roll-up and buy-and-build strategies while implementing the latest technology to create long-term value across our portfolio.
