"We're operators who became buyers."
Our Story
We've sold companies. It was miserable.
Six months of negotiations. £75,000 in legal fees. Earnout structures that made our equity worthless. Then watching the buyers gut our culture and flip the business for a quick profit.
After the third painful exit, we decided to become the buyers we wished we could have sold to.
Our Approach
Simple
No 100-page contracts. No earnout gymnastics. We make straightforward offers with clear terms.
Fast
While others take 6 months, we can close in 30 days. We know your business is good. Why waste time?
Forever
We don't flip companies. We buy them to own them. Your legacy is safe with us.
Our Portfolio Philosophy
We buy three types of businesses:
Dream Businesses
Exceptional companies with moats. We maintain their magic while helping them grow.
Mismanaged Gems
Great businesses held back by operations. We fix the basics and watch them flourish.
Unique Opportunities
Solid businesses at fair prices. We add a few improvements and let them compound.
The Numbers
Our Promise
Every founder who sells to Alma gets:
A fair valuation within 48 hours
