We’re interested in Buying your business, and we’re not what you would expect.

We aim to spend up to £5m to buy and run the best one or two private businesses we can find. No agents, no brokers, talk to us directly.

What we’re looking for:

We have no preconceived ideas about the size, shape and profits of your business. We only ask two questions when qualifying a business:

Is it serving a market which gives it a reliable platform?

Could it be grown with the right combination of capital, innovation and energy?

If the answer to both those questions is ‘Yes,’ then we’re keen to hear from you.

Why choose JLACS

We’re looking to buy the right business.

Are you considering selling your business? We're actively seeking to acquire the right business, and we've encountered the challenges that come with traditional avenues. Working with brokers and agencies often leads to bureaucratic hurdles, subpar account management, and frustratingly slow responses.

That's why we're reaching out directly to potential company owners also actively looking to sell. Could that be you?

We're interested in businesses with a strong foundation and promising growth prospects. If your company fits this description, we're eager to connect.

Partnering with us means cutting out middlemen and engaging in transparent discussions about your business's potential sale. By bypassing intermediaries, we ensure a smoother, more confidential process. Your initial conversation with us comes with no obligation to proceed further. With our capital already secured, you can trust that any deal we pursue is financially backed and ready for completion.

Could your business be the right fit for us?
