For business owners
You’ve Built Something Worth Protecting
Deciding to sell the business you’ve spent years building is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, and it rarely feels simple. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already thought about what happens to your team, your clients and your name after you step back. That’s exactly what this page is for.
What Aldercrest is not
We are not a private equity firm looking for a fund exit in three to five years. We are not a broker, so we will not offer your business to other buyers. We are not building a roll-up to strip out costs and consolidate everything into a single faceless brand.
What Aldercrest is
We are a long-term owner. Once we buy a business, we intend to keep it, grow it and invest in it. We specialise in building compliance, so we understand your sector rather than treating it as a spreadsheet line. We are led by people who have built and managed businesses themselves, not financial engineers.
The first step
What to expect from a first conversation
- — It’s informal and confidential
- — We’ll ask about your business and what you want from a sale
- — You can ask us anything
- — Nothing you tell us goes further without your agreement
Valuation
How the price is actually worked out
We value businesses on maintainable earnings and the quality of your client contracts, not a generic multiple pulled from a market report. We’ll walk you through the calculation, not just hand you a number.
Confidentiality
Your business stays your business
Every conversation with Aldercrest is confidential. We will not approach your staff, your clients or your competitors, and we will not discuss your business with anyone outside our immediate deal team without your agreement.
