Private & confidential acquisitions

A trusted home for the business you've built.

MORI is an acquisition partner to founder-led businesses across managed IT, cybersecurity, software and building services. We buy established companies when the owner is ready to step back, and we keep the name, the team and the reputation intact.

About MORI

Succession, not disruption.

We look for established businesses where the founder is ready to exit, whether to retire, to step back, or because they'd rather not sell to a corporate buyer.

Our aim is continuity. Each business we acquire keeps its own management, its own identity and its standing in the community. Where a new Managing Director is needed, we promote from within rather than bringing in outsiders.

We keep the process simple and straightforward, with professional fees kept to a minimum, so that selling your business is a good experience rather than a stressful one.

Sectors

Where we invest

We focus on businesses with recurring revenue, long-term client relationships and services their customers can't do without.

Primary focus

Managed IT & Security Services

Managed Service Providers delivering end-to-end cybersecurity and IT infrastructure to SME and mid-market organisations through long-term contracts.

  • Endpoint security and threat detection (MDR/EDR)
  • Identity & access management: SSO, MFA, PAM
  • Security monitoring and incident response
  • Cloud management: Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS
  • Infrastructure, network management and helpdesk

We're particularly interested in providers serving compliance-driven sectors such as healthcare and cyber-insured organisations.

Selective

Software, SaaS & Digital Transformation

Founder-owned software businesses that support the wider IT services and cybersecurity ecosystem.

  • Recurring subscription revenue
  • Low customer churn
  • A defensible niche or vertical market position
  • Products serving SME and mid-market organisations

Especially software that enables cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, IT management or digital transformation.

Building services

HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical

Companies that manufacture, install, repair and maintain building systems, with skilled teams and loyal customers.

  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
  • Energy-efficiency solutions
  • Thermal engineering and controls
  • Critical systems installation and maintenance

We're especially keen on innovative businesses with strong service and maintenance revenue.

What we look for

Our criteria are simple

01

A business that runs without you

The business should keep operating once you've moved on. That may mean promoting someone from within to Managing Director.

02

A team you trust

We keep your name, your reputation and your staff, so a team you have confidence in is essential.

03

A handover period

You're willing to help us through a transition, for a length of time we agree together.

04

Ready in the near future

Ideally you're looking to sell within 3–12 months. If your plans are longer term, talk to us anyway; it's never too early.

05

Property, your way

If you own the premises, we can buy them from you or lease them, so you benefit from ongoing income.

06

Straightforward to work with

We keep everything as simple as possible, which keeps accountants' and lawyers' fees down for everyone.

Our approach

How it works

  1. A confidential conversation

    An informal, friendly call to understand your business and what you want from a sale. Nothing leaves the room.

  2. A quick decision

    We'll tell you within days whether we're interested. No long negotiation, no wasted time.

  3. A simple process

    We work through the detail discreetly, keep advisers' fees to a minimum, and visit only when the time is right.

  4. A smooth handover

    You help us through an agreed transition while your team, name and legacy carry on.
