Selling your business is personal. So is how we buy it.
You've spent years, perhaps decades, building your business. We want to be the people who carry it forward, and we'll make the process as straightforward, discreet and fair as possible.
What we look for
We're looking for a high-quality business with a motivated owner, typically one planning retirement or succession, and real potential for continued growth. These are guidelines rather than hard rules. If your business is close, we'd still like to hear from you.

Resilient sectors with steady demand
We favour essential, recession-resistant industries with long-term growth drivers, and fragmented markets where a well-run business can grow through consolidation.
Niche manufacturing
Specialist manufacturers and fabricators with defensible products, engineering know-how and loyal commercial customers.
B2B & commercial services
Service businesses with recurring contracts and essential, non-discretionary offerings for commercial and government clients.
Healthcare supply & equipment
Medical equipment, furniture and supply businesses benefiting from an ageing population and growing healthcare investment.
Security & monitoring
Installation, monitoring and maintenance providers with contracted, recurring revenue.
Trade & technical services
Skilled trade, repair and maintenance businesses with strong local reputations and repeat customers.
Specialist distribution
Wholesalers and distributors serving niche markets, where relationships and reliable supply set the business apart.
Clear, respectful and on your timeline
Selling a business can feel daunting. We keep the process simple and transparent, and you'll always deal directly with Tim, the person who will lead your business after the sale.
Enquire NowAn informal conversation
A confidential chat about you, your business and what you want from the next chapter. No documents and no commitment.
Getting to know the business
Under a confidentiality agreement, we review high-level financials and operations, and spend time understanding what makes your business special.
Indicative offer
We present a clear, non-binding offer covering price, structure and transition, explained in plain language and shaped around your priorities.
Due diligence & completion
We work with our advisers and lenders to confirm the details efficiently, minimising disruption to you and your team.
Transition & continuity
A planned handover, at a pace that suits you, so your staff, customers and suppliers experience continuity rather than disruption.
What happens to your business
Tim becomes CEO and leads the business full-time. The first six months are about listening, learning and earning the trust of your team.
Your people stay
Your team is the business. We prioritise retaining and investing in key staff, and build on the culture they've created.
Continuity for customers
Relationships with customers and suppliers are handled carefully and personally, often with your help during the transition.
Investment in growth
Over time we invest in systems, people and new markets, and occasionally complementary acquisitions, to secure the business's future.
Frequently asked questions
Will my conversation with you stay confidential?
Absolutely. We're happy to sign a confidentiality agreement before you share any information, and we never approach your staff, customers or suppliers without your agreement.
I'm not ready to sell yet. Should I still get in touch?
Yes. Many of our best conversations start two or three years before a sale. We're happy to share what buyers look for and help you plan, with no obligation.
How is Camp Hill Capital different from private equity?
Private equity firms typically manage portfolios from a distance and plan to sell within a few years. Camp Hill Capital is led by an owner-operator who steps into the business full-time as its leader, with a long-term horizon and patient investors behind him.
Do I need to stay on after the sale?
That's up to you. Some owners prefer a short handover; others enjoy staying involved in a part-time or advisory role. We'll design a transition that suits your goals.
Can you actually fund the acquisition?
Yes. Camp Hill Capital is backed by experienced private investors and works with established lenders. Funding is typically a mix of investor equity, bank debt and, where it suits both parties, a portion of vendor finance.
I'm a broker or adviser. Do you work with intermediaries?
Yes. We value our relationships with business brokers, accountants and advisers, and welcome introductions to businesses that fit our criteria. Please email Tim to discuss.

Whether you're ready to sell now or just starting to think about succession, Tim is happy to talk. There's no obligation and no pressure, and everything stays between us.
