For the exit you need, and a stable new home for your business
Looking for passionate owners who are ready to exit
Eastwall was created for the sole purpose of seeking out and acquiring UK SMEs, with the view to managing them for the long term.
As fellow business operators we recognise that after many years of great work building up a business, the time often comes where the right decision is to hand over the reins to someone else.
And given that many owners are forced to wind down due to no credible succession plan, our aim is to be an acquirer who ensures the business continues to live on and excel, well into the future. We’re here to preserve the legacy you’ve built.
Who are we?
Dr Dele Akinyemi, Director, Eastwall
Eastwall is led and operated day-to-day by Dele Akinyemi, a family man and former NHS Doctor who has spent the past 15 years running, advising and investing in a range of SMEs in the Greater London area.
Dele is a self-professed “lifelong scholar of business, innovation and growth”, having spent his career in the weeds of various sectors (from software to industrial production, B2B services to food) and achieving exceptional outcomes across each.
Driven by previous exposure to otherwise-healthy businesses that were forced to shut down due to a lack of suitable successors, Dele hopes Eastwall will be able to solve this problem today for a few, select owners.
The Eastwall promise: people-driven, hands-on, pragmatic leadership.
Are you the owner we’re looking for?
You own a business doing ~£300k and above in annual profits
You are looking to exit the business within the next 0-9 months (for whatever reason: retirement, personal etc)
You have a high-quality team that deserves another high-quality owner whenever the transition happens
There are exciting prospects to grow and evolve the business
You don’t want a random, cutthroat private equity fund shredding your legacy
We’re excited to acquire businesses with high-quality revenues across various industries. In particular, though, we are proactively reaching out to owners in…
Light / Precision Production & Manufacturing
Testing, Inspection and Certification Services
Health & Medical services
Are we the buyer for you? Some of our principles:
Firstly, we are not a Private Equity fund and aren’t here for a ‘quick flip’. You’ve built a great business - we’d love to run it for the next 20 years, continuing the current legacy.
We are a small, focused team of passionate individuals led by me (Dele). You’ll be speaking to me directly. There isn’t a big mess of 50 ‘portfolio companies’ that your company will get forgotten amongst.
It’s important to us to get to a deal structure that works for us both, and to get there fast. We look for win-win opportunities and don’t want to waste your time as we know you’re busy.
Streamlined process to get to a decision as efficiently as possible
With many years’ experience in executing transactions of a range of shapes and sizes, we know how to ensure deals move as efficiently as possible.
The first step in any case is to arrange a quick call so that we can assess whether the high-level characteristics are a mutual fit for us both.
All-in-all, we are committed to running a streamlined and transparent process, with you in-the-know every step of the way.
Continued upside over time, if desirable
We are very open to working on structures that allow continued upside for selling owners over time, if so desired. Please let us know if this is important to you, when you get in touch.
The Eastwall promise: “people-driven, hands-on, pragmatic leadership.”
