Corporate Acquirer in Singapore

Interests: We are looking to acquire essential B2B services for SMEs in Singapore for the long term. We are drawn to businesses that are deeply embedded in the day-to-day operations of their customers, the kinds of companies that keep buildings cool, roofs intact, landscapes maintained, and waste collected. We are mainly interested in commercial air conditioning, roofing, landscaping, maritime services, waste management, and fire protection. Specifically, we like businesses that have: - Recurring or mission- Critical revenue, services customers can not easily defer or cancel. - Proven track records, typically up to SGD 50 million in revenue with stable cash flow generation. - Owner-operators ready to transition, founders looking for a permanent home for their business, not a quick flip. - Strong free cash flow, we focus on actual cash generation rather than adjusted EBITDA metrics. What we tend to avoid: - Project-based or lumpy revenue businesses with no recurring base. - Capital-intensive models that consume the cash they generate. - Businesses are overly reliant on a single customer or contract. - Companies where growth requires constant reinvestment with uncertain returns.
Background: Our company is a Singapore-based permanent holding company that acquires and holds essential B2B services for SMEs for the long term. Unlike private equity firms or search funds, we do not buy to sell; we acquire businesses with the intention of owning them indefinitely, providing founders with a lasting home for the companies they have built. Our team brings deep experience across private equity, financial analysis, and M&A execution. We have evaluated and conducted due diligence on dozens of Singapore-based SMEs across sectors such as traffic management systems, environmental waste management, facilities maintenance, and import/wholesale distribution, giving us a well-developed understanding of what makes essential services businesses tick in the local market. Our domain expertise spans: Commercial air conditioning, roofing, landscaping, maritime services, waste management, fire protection, facilities management, and adjacent essential services sectors. We actively research market structures, competitive dynamics, and regulatory environments across these industries to identify resilient, cash-generative businesses. How we help businesses grow: We are hands-on, operationally minded owners, not absentee capital allocators. After acquisition, we focus on professionalising operations, strengthening back-office capabilities, and providing the financial stability and long-term perspective that allows management teams to invest in growth without the pressure of a three-to-five-year exit timeline. We bring institutional-grade financial discipline, access to a growing network of complementary portfolio companies across Singapore's essential services landscape, and a genuine commitment to preserving the culture and legacy that founders have built. For business owners considering their succession options, we offer something rare: certainty of close, simplicity of structure, and a partner who will be around for the long haul.

Interests: We look for businesses with clean, verifiable financials, stable demand, and a clear path to sustainable profitability (with realistic margins and working-capital needs). We prefer companies with diversified customers, strong operations and reporting, and defensible positioning (contracts, brand, IP, distribution) where capital is used to scale, not to cover structural losses. I avoid businesses with chronic losses, messy compliance/unverifiable numbers, heavy client concentration, hidden liabilities, or value that depends entirely on one owner.
Background: We work with and around public-market companies and partners focused on NASDAQ/NYSE opportunities, including M&A and strategic acquisitions. Our team supports businesses with deal structuring, investor positioning, financial modeling, due diligence coordination, and go-to-market strategy. We are most interested in operating businesses and tech/IP with verifiable financials, clear growth drivers, and strong execution teams.
