Thinking About Selling Your Business?
If you've built a UK critical power business and you're starting to think about what comes next, you’re in the right place.
Here we’ll explain who we are, what we buy, what an offer would look like, and what selling to us would actually mean for you and your team, as well as your customers.
The Businesses We Buy
We acquire fundamentally sound UK businesses with significant exposure to critical power, from owners who are thinking about the next chapter but haven’t quite found the right route.
We offer a clean and structured exit for those owners, usually in the form of a full-buyout without performance linked earn-outs.
The full criteria - sector fit, business profile, deal structure, owner readiness etc - are set out here.
How A Sale Works
From a first conversation to completion typically takes around 12weeks.
If there’s a good fit on both sides, we aim to give you a written indicative offer within two to three weeks of our first conversation. We run an efficient diligence process with minimal disruption to your business, always with a timely completion date in mind. We understand certainty and speed are just as important as price, and we don’t look to price chip[ during the diligence process.
The full process - what happens at each stage, what we'll need from you, and what you can expect from us - is set out here.
Why Owners Choose Alderway
Something we hear a lot in this sector is that owners are thinking about the next chapter.
Whether that's stepping back, retiring, or just wanting to take some money off the table - but they haven't found the right route. We're set up to offer a clean and structured exit, with a long-term view for your business.
We're not coming in to strip things back or rebrand everything on day one. The people and the reputation are what we're buying. We retain what works and invest in what will help the business grow.
For your team, nothing changes on day one. The customers get continuity. And the business gets access to resources like commercial support, systems, financial governance, and the ability to go after larger contracts as part of a larger group.
We are building a group in the critical power sector with a long-term view, acquiring businesses to support them to grow, scale, and create more opportunity for their teams.
