Individual Buyer in Woking Looking to Buyout Businesses Upto GBP 1 million

I am a UK-based entrepreneur and investor with a background in real estate development, hospitality, and technology-driven business operations. Over the years, I have led projects under the above & beyond ventures group, focusing on property acquisition, holiday let development, and business automation solutions that improve efficiency and profitability.
My experience spans acquiring underperforming assets, restructuring operations, and developing new revenue streams through digital transformation and systemization. I have advised and invested in businesses across real estate, hospitality, and SaaS, helping founders implement scalable systems, improve financial discipline, and expand into new markets. I bring a structured yet entrepreneurial approach combining hands-on business turnaround experience, tech integration, and strategic partnerships in both the UK and African markets. My goal is to connect with solid, ethical businesses that can benefit from capital, operational structure, and growth mentorship to achieve their next stage of expansion.

1. Strong, Recurring Cash Flow.
Predictable monthly income and clear margins (subscriptions, rentals, B2B service contracts).
Avoids one-off or highly seasonal revenues.
2. Solid Operations & Systems.
Runs on documented processes, not the owner’s daily presence.
Scalable through automation or team structure.
3. Market Position & Brand Trust.
Loyal customer base, repeat sales, good reputation.
Avoids price-only competition and saturated markets.
4. Growth & Expansion Potential.
Clear levers for growth through marketing, tech adoption, or UK/Africa expansion.
Avoids models that have peaked or rely on short-term trends.
5. Asset Strength & Downside Protection.
Preference for asset-backed or IP-based businesses (property, contracts, data, patents).
Avoids ventures with little tangible value or unclear ownership.
6. Integrity & Leadership.
Ethical, transparent founders who value structure and long-term sustainability.
Businesses I Like.
High-margin digital / SaaS companies.
Service businesses with recurring B2B clients.
Property-backed hospitality or healthcare projects.
Established but under-optimized SMEs with room to modernize.

Fad-based e-commerce and speculative crypto projects.
Owner-dependent or poorly documented businesses.
