IM-Capital · Manchester, UK
I'm looking to acquire one UK business in services to construction or manufacturing, and run it myself.
Planned over the next two to three years, with no broker process and no obligation. If you are considering succession for the business you built, I would value 30 minutes of your perspective.

What I am looking for
One business, bought from an owner who wants a credible succession. These are my criteria, in full, so you can tell in a minute whether we should talk.
Sector
Main focus: services to the construction industry, led by maintenance, compliance and repair. Also open to manufacturing.
Size
EBITDA of £1.2m or more, cash-generative for the last three years.
People
20 or more staff, ideally with a second management tier.
Customers
Recurring business customers, with no single customer above roughly 15–20% of revenue.
Ownership
Private and UK-based, with a 90% or greater stake available.
Where
North West and Midlands focus, but also open elsewhere in the UK.
How it works
1
We talk, in confidence
Thirty minutes: who I am, why your sector, and what you want for the future of your business and team.
2
We check the fit
If there is mutual interest, we sign a confidentiality agreement and review key headline figures. I then return with a clear, non-binding indication of interest and deal structure.
3
We agree a handover
Once commercial terms are agreed, acquisition financing is finalised. You stay on through the first year to ensure a smooth, stable handover for your team and clients.
At any step you can say no. I will not speak to your staff, customers or suppliers without your agreement.
What happens to what you built
I am buying to run the business myself, not to break it up or flip it.
Your name
The business keeps its name, its brand and its reputation.
Your people
Continuity comes first. I step in to support the core team and protect the culture you built.
Your customers
Client trust and service continuity come first. Introductions happen only when you are ready.
Your role
A phased handover structured around your personal priorities, whether that is certainty or an ongoing role.
Who you would be talking to
I am Anderson Gomez, an operator based in Manchester. Beyond finance, my career spans general management, commercial operations, and chairing a family business board. I know what it takes to run a company day-to-day, and I now want to acquire and lead one of my own.
I am not an adviser, a broker or a fund. I am one buyer who intends to lead the business personally. I am assembling a trusted syndicate of private investment partners and lenders to finance the acquisition.
