Join the United Capital group

Selling your business is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make. After years — or decades — of building your customer base, growing revenues, and investing in your team, you want to be sure you’re selling to the right partner.

At United Capital Group, we invest in profitable businesses led by high-performing management teams. Our approach is straightforward — we back strong operators and provide them with the tools, resources, and support they need to unlock the next phase of growth and profitability.

We don’t interfere with the day-to-day running of your business unless you want us involved. Our role is to support — not control. If you plan to stay on, you’ll have the opportunity to join our operations board, connecting with other proven leaders across the group. If you’re ready to step back, we’ll work with your existing management team to ensure a smooth, professional transition.

United Capital Group provides expert support in key business areas, including:

  • HR strategy & support

  • Legal & regulatory guidance

  • IT systems & infrastructure

  • Strategic marketing & branding

  • Business development & growth planning

  • Procurement & cost management

  • Compliance & risk management

When you partner with United Capital, you’re joining a group that values your legacy, respects your leadership, and is committed to driving lasting success for your business and your people.

The benefits

Ambitious Growth. Proven Model. Hands-Off Where It Matters.

At United Capital Group, our strategy is simple — acquire successful businesses, invest in their growth, and support them to maximize profitability. That’s it.

Yes, we invest capital. But more importantly, we invest experience, expertise, and operational support where it matters most. Every company in our group has direct access to our in-house team of specialists — from legal and finance to marketing, business development, and operational strategy.

We also create real value through our peer-to-peer network. Our business leaders meet regularly through the United Capital Operations Board — a platform for sharing challenges, solving problems, collaborating on major projects, and pursuing large-scale contracts. It’s a powerful network designed to help leaders drive growth together.

We’re focused on expanding our group — not interfering in the day-to-day running of your business. We back the leaders we invest in and trust them to continue doing what they do best. And when you need us, we’re right there with the support and resources to help you grow faster and smarter.

The criteria

We’re actively acquiring successful, well-managed, profitable companies in the building services industry. Whether you’re looking to sell because you’re ready to step away, or want to stay on in your leadership role to grow the company further, these are the criteria we look at when deciding if a business is right for United Capital.

While we don’t acquire companies in distress, it’s got to be acknowledged that most companies are facing some sort of difficulties right now. If you’ve got profitable work in the pipeline, we’re interested in having a conversation.

If you think your company meets the criteria, contact us today.

Have a strong, talented management team

Have an annual turnover of $30-$100 million

The deal

A Straightforward, Confidential Approach to Acquisitions

Whether you reach out to us — or we approach you — every conversation with United Capital Group starts with complete confidentiality. We know how important this decision is, and we treat every enquiry with the discretion it deserves.

If we believe your business aligns with our group strategy, we’ll start with an open conversation to make sure we’re a good fit for each other. If it turns out your company isn’t the right match, we’ll tell you quickly and directly — no wasted time, no false promises.

When there’s a good fit, we move into a detailed assessment of your business, focusing on key areas such as:

  • Financial performance
  • Strength and depth of the management team
  • Risk profile
  • Pipeline and growth opportunities

If everything stacks up, we’ll move swiftly to agree a deal that’s competitive, realistic, and reflects current market conditions. From there, it’s on to the legal process — which, as with any transaction, takes time to work through on both sides.

But when the deal is right, we don’t drag our feet. We act decisively to bring the right businesses into the United Capital Group.
