Our Focus: Growth And Value Enhancement
How Do I Sell My Business?
What We Do
Standard Rock’s mission is to help owner operated businesses like yours transition smoothly when you no longer want to be involved with the day-to-day running of the business.
Our core strategic aims are for sustainable development and the long term value enhancement of Standard Rock Holdings. Acquired businesses must enhance earnings. Our selection process is rigorous to protect shareholders’ interests. We do NOT buy 'turn-around,' start-up or pre-revenue businesses.
To achieve these aims we focus on:
-
Acquiring new subsidiaries with significant development potential.
-
Actively developing the existing subsidiaries further, with the aim of significant increases in turnover and returns.
-
We look for established businesses with a proven strong position within their sector and a capability for realistic growth.
-
We are a hands on investor with a clear focus on the people we work with.
-
We look for cash generative, low capital intensity, good profit margins and high return on capital employed within the company.
-
We acquire companies with potential.
Traditional strategic and financial buyers typically have very specific criteria for acquisitions and many situations will fall outside their ‘comfort zone.’
Our focus is on situations where the owner is interested in transitioning a business to a new owner – but where there are circumstances that mean that traditional buyers do not represent a viable exit route.
What’s In It For You?
As a group, we are committed to generating quantum growth through acquisition and consolidation of companies engaged in B2B & customer facing activities
Our business is run by experienced business owners and entrepreneurs who understand in depth what it takes to own and operate successful businesses and how hard it can be.
We are not "corporate executives" just crunching spreadsheets. We operate in and understand the world of the owner managed business. We are plain speaking but with sophisticated knowledge, understanding and experience of acquiring other owner managed businesses.
Above all else we are committed to ethical, ‘win win’ deal making, that provides elegant solutions to owners of small and medium sized businesses to exit your business with value, rather than just close the doors.
