Growth by Acquisition
Done-for-you buy-side acquisition for growth-driven SME owners
You run your business. We run your acquisition.
What Is Growth by Acquisition?
A deliberate strategy for growing your business through acquisition.
Rather than relying solely on slower, incremental organic growth, acquisition enables you to:
-
Scale faster by acquiring established operations
-
Add capability, capacity, technology, or market share
-
Strengthen overall business value and exit optionality
-
Build a larger, more resilient business over time
When executed with discipline, growth by acquisition accelerates scale by acquiring the right businesses.
We Don’t Advise. We Execute.
One execution lead. Buyer-side and fully aligned.
Acquiring a business typically involves multiple advisers:
-
Business brokers focused on closing transactions
-
Accountants focused on historical numbers and tax
-
Lawyers focused on legal protection
-
Finance brokers focused on serviceability
What’s usually missing is one party responsible for managing the acquisition process. That is our role.
We act as your execution lead — owning the acquisition process — so you stay focused on running your business.
Acquire
Acquisition planning and execution done-for-you.
We provide a complete, done-for-you buy-side acquisition service — from strategy through execution — focused on strategic fit, deal discipline, and clean delivery.
Sourcing, screening, valuation, negotiation, and deal coordination are managed centrally, so you don’t waste time chasing misaligned opportunities or get distracted from running your core business.
How Acquisition Is Executed
A clear, disciplined, buyer-side execution process.
Growth by acquisition follows a structured execution framework:
-
Define clear acquisition criteria
-
Identify and screen suitable targets
-
Engage sellers and negotiate commercial terms
-
Coordinate advisers and manage diligence
-
Execute through to settlement
The focus is disciplined execution — quality over quantity.
Who This Is For
For SME owners ready to grow by acquisition.
This service is for owners who:
-
Run a profitable business
-
Want a faster growth path than organic expansion alone
-
See acquisition as a long-term strategy, not a one-off deal
-
Want execution, not fragmented advice
-
Are thinking ahead to succession or exit
About Aaron
An operator with first-hand experience acquiring and running businesses.
Aaron began acquiring businesses at 25, leading his first acquisition for a UK-listed company.
He later co-founded and bootstrapped a holding company, acquiring and operating metal fabrication and ancillary service businesses and growing revenue from $0 to $20M+.
After years as a buyer and buy-side adviser — navigating broker-led and direct-to-seller transactions with fragmented advice and no single party owning execution — Aaron developed a disciplined acquisition process focused on preparation, active acquisition management, and clean execution through to settlement.
Today, Aaron works hands-on with SME owners as the single execution lead, applying this process so acquisitions progress decisively while owners remain focused on running their core operations.
How We Work
Engagements are structured around preparation, execution, and settlement.
Preparation: Define what to buy, why, and on what terms before engaging the market — so only the right opportunities are pursued.
Execution: Manage buy-side execution — sourcing, screening, negotiation, adviser coordination, and diligence — through to settlement.
Settlement: The engagement concludes at settlement, with a structured handover into ownership and a clean transition.
