Linton Ventures is a private buyer looking for profitable, well-run UK businesses with revenues between £500k and £3m. We move quickly, keep it confidential, and treat your business with the respect it deserves.
A business with history, reputation, and a loyal customer base built over time. Not a startup, not a turnaround.
Consistent earnings and customers who come back. We're looking for a business that runs reliably, not one that depends on winning new work every month.
You've built something valuable and you're ready for the next chapter. We're here to make that transition as smooth as possible.
The business doesn't fall apart when you step back. There are capable people who know what they're doing and want to stay.
We're not approaching you speculatively. We have capital ready and we move to completion quickly once there's a mutual fit. No fundraising, no committee approval.
We work with you to transition at your pace. Your customers won't notice the difference and your staff won't be disrupted. We take the time to do it properly.
We're buying a business to grow it — not to sell off equipment, cut headcount, or hollow it out. What you've built stays intact. That's not just a promise, it's our model.
We bring modern operational thinking and technology to improve customer experience and back-office efficiency — without changing what already works.
No pressure, no pitch. We learn about your business and you learn about us. Completely confidential.
We sign a mutual NDA and review three years of financials. No lawyers at this stage — just a straightforward look at the numbers.
If there's a fit, we put a written offer in front of you within two weeks of seeing the financials. No long drawn-out process.
We complete on your timeline. Staff are informed properly, customers are looked after, and you leave with your reputation intact.
We focus on service businesses with physical operations in the UK. Boring industries with strong fundamentals are exactly what we look for.
Linton Ventures is led by an entrepreneur with hands-on experience building and operating businesses in the UK and internationally. We understand what it takes to run a small business — the logistics, the staff, the customers, the cash flow — because we've done it ourselves.
We're not a fund, not a corporate, and not a broker. We're a private buyer who moves quickly, communicates directly, and closes deals. When we say we're interested, we mean it. When we make an offer, it's real.
We're specifically interested in businesses where technology can improve the back-office and customer experience — not to disrupt what works, but to make good businesses run better.
No pressure, no pitch. If you're thinking about your next chapter and want to understand what a sale might look like, we're happy to talk. Everything is confidential.
