UK Self-Funded, Operator-Led Control Buy-Out | Tech-Enabled Services | Strong Growth, Sticky Revenues, >15% EBITDA Margins | Senior Debt Secured

UK-based self-funded (with traditional SF aligned terms) search acquisition under LOI for a control stake in a tech-enabled services platform operating in regulated, mission-critical end markets. The company generates attractive EBITDA margins in excess of 15%, with recurring and highly sticky revenues, long-standing customer relationships, and strong recent growth. The business benefits from defensible positioning and meaningful switching costs, providing visibility on continued expansion. The transaction is structured as a control buy-out with senior debt already committed. Seller alignment is reinforced through a meaningful multi-year seller note and a performance-based earn-out, ensuring ongoing alignment and downside protection. The sponsor will assume an active, operator-led role post-close, focused on organic growth, operational enhancement, and disciplined capital allocation alongside the existing management team. Seeking experienced search investors comfortable with acquisition-stage equity in an operator-led structure. Teaser attached; NDA available for next steps.
