Martell Group is a London, England–based private investment firm focused on acquiring small businesses from owners nearing retirement. We specialize in purchasing companies that generate consistent cash flow and include real estate assets, providing long-term stability and intrinsic value.
With a focus on lower middle-market businesses, our typical acquisition targets companies earning between $250,000 and $1,000,000 annually, with an average valuation multiple of 2.5x earnings. Our approach is straightforward and disciplined: we value businesses based on proven cash flow—not speculative future projections.
What We Look For
We acquire businesses that meet the following criteria:
Owner-operated companies with a stable operating history
Annual net earnings of $250,000 to $1,000,000
Located in the United Kingdom or select international markets
Real estate included as part of the transaction
Industries with recurring revenue, essential services, or tangible assets
Owners seeking a clean exit, often for retirement or lifestyle transitions
Why Sell to Martell Group?
We understand what it means to spend a lifetime building a business. Our team works respectfully and efficiently to ensure a smooth transition—preserving the legacy you’ve built while providing financial security for your next chapter.
Efficient closings with committed capital
Transparent valuations based on real cash flow
We retain your team, your brand, and your legacy
Flexible deal structures tailored to your needs
Real estate included? Even better—we prefer to acquire both
