For Business Owners
You have come to the right place.
Westernston Holdings is interested in buying. We look for established SMEs that are profitable and have systemisable operations, and we pay fair, transparent multiples.
We Are Buyers
Westernston Holdings is actively acquiring
If you have spent years building a profitable business and are now considering your exit options, you deserve to work with a buyer who understands what you have built, values it correctly, and has the operational capability to take it forward properly.
We are not asset-strippers. We are not brokers reselling your business to the highest bidder. We are an operating group: we acquire businesses, systemise their operations, and grow them. The businesses we buy continue to operate and grow under our management.
That matters for sellers who care about the legacy of what they have built: the employees, the customers, the reputation. We take those responsibilities seriously.
Confidential Process
All conversations and information exchanges are kept strictly confidential. We sign NDAs before discussing specifics.
Fair, Transparent Multiples
We work to industry-standard P/E multiples and are transparent about our valuation methodology.
No Obligation to Proceed
Entering into preliminary conversations or requesting an appraisal does not obligate you to sell. You remain fully in control throughout.

Most business owners have no clear picture of what their business is actually worth in a realistic open-market transaction. Our team will review the key metrics and give you an honest, well-founded valuation range, with no strings attached and no obligation to sell.
Acquisition Criteria
What we look for in a business
We are not generalist buyers. We have specific criteria that any acquisition target must meet before we will consider making an offer. If your business fits this profile, we are genuinely interested.
- Profitable SME — at least two years of positive, demonstrable trading history. We do not acquire pre-profit or structurally loss-making businesses.
- Clear, clean books — accurate, well-maintained accounts, ideally reviewed by an external accountant. Clean financials protect you and accelerate the process.
- Established, repeatable operations — processes that can continue functioning after a change of ownership. Founder-dependent relationships are a red flag for us.
- Clear growth potential — room to grow through systemisation, brand development, geographic expansion, or product extension. We want the ceiling still ahead of you.
- Reasonable P/E ratio — we pay fair multiples of actual earnings. We share our valuation methodology openly and explain every number in our offer.
- Systemisable operations — businesses whose processes can be documented, automated, and delegated are our sweet spot. That is exactly what we are built to take forward.
The Process
How an acquisition with us works
- Initial conversation — we discuss your business, your goals, and whether there is a fit. Fully confidential. No commitment required.
- Complimentary appraisal — we review your key financials and provide an honest valuation range. NDA signed before any information is exchanged.
- Due diligence — a thorough but efficient review of financials, operations, and legal structure. We move at a pace that works for you.
- Offer and negotiation — a transparent written offer with methodology explained. We negotiate in good faith and do not use last-minute tactics.
- Close and transition — completion followed by a structured handover period so the business continues to operate smoothly for customers and staff.
