Discreet SME Acquisition & Investment Partnerships

We represent a small group of trusted investors, family offices, and experienced operators seeking to acquire and develop a portfolio of established SME businesses across Southern England. Our approach is discreet, focused, and values-driven.
About Northbase
Equity Investments
Northbase Group is a privately held company that identifies and evaluates acquisition opportunities in the SME market on behalf of a small, personally known group of regional investors.
We are not business brokers and do not advertise our mandates. Instead, we work quietly behind the scenes to understand what makes each business unique, and where long-term capital and capable hands can support the next stage of growth.
Through trusted relationships with brokers, accountants, and advisers, we source established, profitable businesses where the outgoing shareholders are seeking succession, sale, or a strategic partner.
Who We Represent
Northbase partners with:
-
Private investors looking for regional investment exposure in the SME sector
-
Family offices seeking value-aligned investments outside of public markets
-
Operator-investors who bring hands-on leadership to businesses post-acquisition
All parties are personally known to us, with a strong track record and an aligned commitment to ethical ownership, business development, and value creation.
Our Approach
We work discreetly and selectively with business brokers, accountants, and corporate finance advisers to:
-
Qualify opportunities off-market or pre-market
-
Assess alignment with our investors’ strategy and style
-
Make credible, serious approaches only where appropriate
-
Provide support through due diligence, transition, and post-deal involvement via our advisory and operating partners
We are patient and relationship-driven, looking for quality as opposed to quantity. We look for investment and partnership situations where we believe we can add significant value, and where all parties share a long-term investment perspective.
What We Look For
We focus on identifying privately owned businesses located in the South of England that match the following profile:
-
Income between £1.5M and £25M
-
Consistent EBITDA of £300K+ p.a. and positive net asset base
-
An owner/founder planning for retirement, succession, or exit
-
Stable operations, strong teams, and good customer relationships
-
A business model with clear growth or development potential
We are especially interested in industrial sector businesses with a long-standing regional presence and strong operational track record.
