Considering an exit?
Read this first.
AMPM Ventures acquires and integrates compliance and building-services businesses. If you're exploring a sale, a structured handover or a partial transaction, this page sets out what we look for and how the process runs.
A specific shape.
Sector
Fire, life safety, passive fire, M&E, building services, FM. Compliance-led businesses with audit-ready records.
£1m, £10m
Typical revenue band. Both ends in scope, smaller bolt-ons and meaningful platform additions.
Geography
London and the South of England primarily. National considered where the client base justifies it.
Accreditations
NSI · BAFE · FIRAS · FIA · Constructionline · CHAS, or equivalent. Especially anything the group doesn't yet hold.
Margin
Profitable in the prior two years. EBITDA trajectory matters more than the headline figure.
Owner posture
Owner-managed or owner-led. Founders welcome to step out, step down, or stay on in advisory.
Integrated,
not absorbed.
Your name stays, the acquired business keeps its trading identity, with the AMPM signature underneath. The group's operating stack absorbs the back-office burden so the team can focus on delivery. And acquired people join a group where employee ownership is structural, not slogan.
Introductory call.
30 to 45 minutes. No NDA. Founder-to-founder. Shape, fit, timing.
NDA & outline.
Mutual NDA. Initial structure tabled: cash, earn-out, advisory roles, employee transition.
Diligence.
Financial, legal, operational, regulatory. Indicative weeks rather than months.
Completion.
SPA, completion accounts, day-one continuity plan for the team and clients.
Integration.
A dedicated integration lead. Operating-stack onboarding over the first 90 days. Founder role transitions to plan.
