Work Experience

Backer Group

Founder
2022 - Current
Backer Group is a team of long-term investors established with the intent to acquire, support, and grow exceptional UK-based small businesses. We offer an attractive exit option to business owners seeking a full or majority sale while preserving their legacy. We are not a private equity firm – we are not pressured to generate a return within a pre-defined period. This gives us the flexibility to invest for the long-term, ensuring the value built over many years is secured for generations to come. We target high-quality small businesses with £1-5m EBITDA (pre-tax profit), a demonstrated history of profitability, and the ability to generate strong, steady cash flows. We tend to focus primarily on Business Services and Industrial Services, with a preference for recurring/ repeat revenue and high cash generation. www.backer-group.com
