Established Fire & Security Company

Reference: MA0176

Our client, a prominent electrical and mechanical contractor, is seeking to expand into the Fire & Security sector through the acquisition of an established business. This presents a unique opportunity for business owners who are in a transition phase and are open to staying involved for up to five years to ensure smooth operations and continued growth. Our client is also happy to discuss a full business acquisition with an agreed handover period.

Target Sectors

We are interested in acquiring businesses in the following areas:

• Fire & Security Systems (installation & maintenance): Fire alarms, CCTV, smoke detectors, and security systems.

• Access Control Systems: Biometric, keycard, and electronic access solutions.

Ideal Business Profile

• Revenue: £1 million to £3 million annually.

• Staff: 5 to 30+ employees, including at least 5 directly employed engineers.

• Location: Midlands or surrounding areas

• Accreditations: Relevant certifications such as BAFE, NSI Gold/Silver, and NICEIC.

This is a trade buyer project with business connections, resources and experience. An opportunity ideal for business owners who:

• Are looking for a full exit or retirement but want their company to be in good hands.

• May be considering a distressed sale and need a buyer to revitalise their business.

• Want to expand by joining a larger organisation with the resources and scale to grow the business starting with a partial sale, then a full exit in 5 years.

Our client’s established reputation in the electrical and mechanical sector, combined with their desire to move into the fire and security industry, ensures that this partnership can deliver long-term success. For owners ready for the next chapter but keen to remain involved for up to five years, this could be the perfect match.

If you're considering selling, we’d love to explore how we can work together for mutual benefit.
