We invest our own funds alongside those of instituional investors. We have committed funds which means we can move quickly with certainty. 


Typically we are looking for majority positions within UK small to medium-sized enterprises. We are flexible investors and will consider multiple types of transactions, structures, and businesses.


Unlike others, we at Grangeway are in the market to buy or invest in businesses  that others walk away from, due to either the profits being too small, not having reliable and repeat profits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at office@grangewayinvestments.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

For many of business owners to exit their business the only real way to exit and enjoy their retirement is to close the business down. This is because a lot of businesses arent sellable for the following reasons 


  • The businessed is too small
  • Profits are unreliable
  • The business relies heavily on the owner
  • Lack of second-tier management
  • Customer based is too concentrated
  • Lack of sales and marketing expertise
  • Lack of documented systems and processes
  • Lack of quality financial reporting and financial statements 



There are a few ways to answer this. 


First there is what the textbooks woudl say 

  1. Net Asset Value 
  2. Profit Multiple
  3. Discounted Cash Flow
  4. Comparable Businesses 
  5. Entry Cost
  6. Industry Norms
  7. Broker Valuation
  8. Combination of items 1-6 

Finally it could just be a case of a figure that the business owner is looking for and if someone can meet their number on terms that are agreeable then its as simple as that. 


Getting to an agreeable strike price and terms is great news as the process can be extremely challenging and data backs this up as over 90% of busnesses listed on broker sites do not sell. 

Many businesses we talk to and consider for investment or acquisition are not doing well at the time, with owners looking for an exit strategy.


The owners want to retire, but their business is not in a position to be sold. In these cases we are  prepared to work together to turn the business around and eventually sell it.

One of the most important components of a business is the staff. Our job is to give people the best tools, resources, and development opportunities to grow professionall. We believe that if we look after our people, the customers will naturally be cared for.

We start by conducting an employee engagement survey which will allow us to capture the staff‘s exact professional and personal goals for us to develop a plan to achieve their maximum potential within our business. 

Grangeway specialises in the construction, logistics and engineering industries.
