SIXA Group / What we look for

Strong businesses with a reason to endure.

We look for profitable service companies with loyal customers, capable teams and a defensible place in their market—especially where an owner is considering succession.

Indicative profile

Financial and operating foundations.

Our public criteria are intended to help owners and advisers establish likely fit.

  • Established and profitable
  • Typically £750k–£5m in annual revenue
  • Repeat or recurring customer relationships
  • Low-to-moderate capital requirements
  • A defensible reputation in its market
  • An owner considering succession or a new partner

Not a rigid checklist. Revenue is typically £750k–£5m, but quality, context and the right long-term fit matter more than a boundary.

Sector priorities

Services customers continue to need.

Our focus is deliberately practical: specialist and recurring services where reliability, expertise and reputation compound over time.

01

Property & compliance services

Specialist services supporting property owners, managers and occupiers.

02

Testing, inspection & maintenance

Technical, regulated and specialist maintenance businesses where trust matters.

03

Outsourced B2B administration

Reliable, embedded services that help other businesses operate effectively.

04

Facilities & essential services

Recurring services customers depend on, often delivered by skilled local teams.

Situations

A structure shaped around the people involved.

There is no single reason to begin a conversation and no assumption that every owner wants an immediate, complete exit.

  • Owner retirement or succession
  • Partial liquidity with continued involvement
  • Management or leadership transition
  • Corporate carve-out
  • A long-term growth partner

A considered next step / Direct & confidential

Guidelines help start a conversation; they should not prevent the right one. Our acquisition team reviews every opportunity in its full context.
