Aptis Investments is a private holding company focused on acquiring profitable businesses with long-term potential. Our approach leverages well-established M&A funding strategies tailored to the SME market, enabling us to bring liquidity where it’s often lacking. As a private company, we can offer sellers a clear and valuable exit opportunity.
A common myth
Contrary to popular belief, businesses aren’t typically bought with a single capital payment on the day of sale. Most acquisitions, whether large or small, involve a structured combination of cash on the day of completion, followed by a term of contracted repayments.
Our approach
Our approach uses a customised version of established M&A funding sources adapted to the unique characteristics of the SME sector.
We acquire using a combination of part cash on completion followed by structured, interest-bearing repayments tailored to the business’s financial profile. These repayments are designed to protect the company’s stability while allowing sellers to unlock the value they’ve built.
A route to liquidity
Our funding strategy addresses the lack of liquidity in the SME market, where traditional buyers often struggle. We provide a realistic and secure exit path that meets the needs of the seller, the business, and us as investors. By aligning the interests of all parties, we create a pathway that facilitates a smooth and successful transition.
