We are a privately held company acquiring established, profitable SME companies across Southern England.
Welcome to Aptis Investments
Strategy, approach & funding
Strategy
We seek to acquire structurally sound companies that will benefit from long-term ownership, development, resources, skills, and momentum. Our focus is on defensive, stable businesses where we can apply our expertise to drive long-term performance. We aim to deliver outstanding customer service, employee performance, and investor returns.
Approach
As a privately owned acquisition company, we take a selective, quality-focused approach rather than targeting quantity. Our goal is to acquire a small number of well-aligned businesses that will benefit from our engaged form of private ownership.
Funding
We have established discretionary financing and legal facilities with trusted transaction partners. This enables us to move quickly when there is alignment between us as buyer and seller. We understand that timely completion can be important emotionally and financially. Hence, as a small company, we have organised our resources to execute deals efficiently and without unnecessary bureaucracy when the vision and fit are right.
Businesses of interest
The following section describes the profile of businesses we are are interested in hearing from.
Acquisition criteria
If your business meets the following criteria, and you are genuinely considering selling your company, then we’d like to hear from you. In addition to outright purchase, we will also consider selective turnaround situations, investing our resources and expertise in return for equity and profit share arrangements.
Committed exit
The outgoing shareholders must be vested in an exit strategy that protects the goodwill of the business, employees, and customers. This may involve a managed exit process aligned to a combination of up-front and deferred consideration models, such as staged payments or earn out structures.
