DIRECT BUYER • UK BUSINESSES • CONFIDENTIAL CONVERSATIONS
We acquire established UK businesses.
Valtaris is a direct buyer looking to acquire and own established UK businesses for the long term. If you are considering selling your business, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
DIRECT BUYER
You deal directly with the buyer.
We are not brokers or intermediaries. Valtaris is the prospective owner of the business. When you contact us, you are speaking directly with the people assessing whether we could acquire your company. There is no process of taking your business to a list of unrelated buyers.
Direct
Your first conversation is with the prospective buyer.
Confidential
We understand that considering a sale can be highly sensitive. Conversations are handled discreetly.
Long-Term
We are looking to acquire businesses with the intention of owning, operating and growing them over the long term.
Considering a sale
Thinking about selling your business?
Selling a business you have built over many years is a significant decision. Valtaris aims to make the initial conversation straightforward, confidential and pressure-free.
You do not need to have formally appointed a broker, prepared an information memorandum, or launched a full sale process before speaking to us. Many of the owners we speak with are simply at the stage of thinking things through. An initial conversation is exactly that — a conversation. If the business is not a fit for our acquisition strategy, we will say so plainly and the discussion ends there.
WHAT WE ACQUIRE
What we look for.
Valtaris focuses on established, profitable UK businesses with strong underlying operations — companies that already work well and can be owned and developed over the long term.
Waste Management
Established waste collection, recycling and environmental service businesses.
Cleaning
Commercial cleaning and facilities-related businesses with established customer relationships.
Haulage & Logistics
Owner-managed transport, haulage and logistics businesses.
Other Fragmented Services
Selected established businesses in fragmented sectors where there is potential for continued long-term growth.
ACQUISITION CRITERIA
These criteria are indicative rather than rigid. If you are unsure whether your business fits, we would still welcome a conversation.
OUR APPROACH
A straightforward approach to acquisition.
Five clear stages, handled directly by Valtaris. Following an acquisition, Valtaris becomes the owner of the business.
We start with a confidential conversation to understand you, the business and what you are considering.
We look at the key characteristics of the business and determine whether it fits Valtaris's acquisition strategy.
If there appears to be a potential fit, we discuss the business in greater detail.
We review the financial, commercial and operational aspects of the business before agreeing appropriate transaction terms.
Following completion, Valtaris becomes the new owner and works towards a smooth transition.
Why owners speak to us
A different type of buyer.
No Auction Process Required
Owners can approach Valtaris directly without necessarily putting their business through a broad public sale process.
Direct Communication
You speak directly with the prospective buyer rather than an intermediary.
Discretion
We appreciate the importance of confidentiality when considering a potential sale.
Long-Term Ownership
We are interested in businesses that we believe can be successfully owned and developed over the long term.
Your next chapter
If you're considering your next chapter, let's talk.
You may be thinking about retirement, succession, a change in direction, or simply wondering what your business might be worth. You may also be considering whether a strategic partner could help scale the business in exchange for an equity stake. You don't need to have made a final decision. An initial conversation can simply be an opportunity to understand whether there could be a fit.
