Is it time to exit your business?
Are you are thinking of exiting your business? Perhaps it’s just the right time to sell. Or perhaps you want to retire, have ill-health, a change personal circumstances, or your business is facing some difficult challenges.
The Ascot Group is actively seeking acquisitions that are aligned to our group strategy and business ethos;
- Turnover between £250,000 and £10m (larger acquisitions considered)
- Minimum 3 years trading history with established, satisfied customers
- Significant and tangible growth potential
- Businesses that complement our existing portfolio – publishing and media, business data, marketing services, martech, lead generation/advertising, mobile tech
- All financial situations considered; profitable or loss-making
- We only consider deals where we acquire 100% of the shares or assets
With strong liquidity, an expert management team and an established network of financial, legal and HR advisors we can move quickly – often without the constraints of external funding. For larger deals our unique relationship with numerous financial institutions ensures we can put in place short-term or long-term funding mechanisms.
