In short, we are building the infrastructure to reshape and disrupt how European M&A is processed, while allocating revenue from M&A closing fees into a portfolio of public and private equity to drive long-term growth and income generation.

Acquiring / Buying a Business, Investing in a Business, Buying Business Assets

We apply a strict value Investing lens to every opportunity. Here are the specific factors we prioritize:

Durable Economic Moats: We look for businesses with high switching costs, strong brand loyalty, or proprietary IP that protects them from competitors.
- High Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): We prioritize firms that generate significant profit relative to the capital they deploy, indicating efficient management and a strong market position.
- Cash Flow & Pricing Power: The business must demonstrate consistent free cash flow and the ability to raise prices without losing customers (an "inflation shield").
Businesses We Like:
- "Boring" Niche Manufacturing: Essential components or industrial parts where they are the market leader in a small pond.
- Specialised Financial Services: High-margin asset management or fintech with high recurring revenue.
- B2B Infrastructure: Mission-critical services that companies cannot easily turn off.

Businesses We Dislike:
- Speculative Tech/Biotech: Pre-revenue "moonshots" where the value is based on future hype rather than current cash flows.
- Commodity Retail: Businesses with no brand loyalty that compete solely on price, leading to razor-thin margins.
