Ideal Fit

Who this is — and isn't — for.

✅  This is for you if…
  • ✓ You have £20k–£250k+ of investable capital ready to deploy
  • ✓ You're employed, self-employed, or already running a business and want a real asset alongside it
  • ✓ You want downside protection — not speculation
  • ✓ You're willing to follow a structured 12-week process
  • ✓ You're interested in care, hospitality, or other asset-backed UK sectors
❌  This isn't for you if…
  • ✗ You're looking for a passive, hands-off investment with zero involvement
  • ✗ You want to flip businesses for a quick profit
  • ✗ You're not yet able to make decisions independently
  • ✗ You're under-capitalised and hoping to bootstrap a deal from nothing
  • ✗ You're unwilling to commit to a proven framework
The Process

What working together looks like.

No vague promises. Here's exactly what happens from application to acquisition — the same four-step sequence our founders apply to every asset they touch.

1

Apply & get a strategy call

Fill in a short application so we understand your capital position, goals, and timeline. If there's a fit, we'll book a focused strategy call to map out your acquisition plan — no pitch, no pressure.

2

Build your buy box together

We help you define the exact criteria for your ideal acquisition — sector, size, price range, deal structure — so you never waste time on the wrong opportunities or overpay for the wrong asset.

3

Source, analyse, and shortlist deals

Using our sourcing system and due diligence framework — proven across £65M of completed acquisitions — you'll evaluate real businesses and build the confidence to move decisively when the right one appears.

4

Negotiate and complete your first acquisition

We support you through offer structuring, negotiation, and legal completion. The goal: your name on the ownership agreement — with a business that has real assets, real cash flow, and real upside.

Common Questions

Before you apply.

Most clients come in with between £20k and £250k of investable capital. The right amount depends on the type and size of business you're targeting — care, hospitality, or value-add property. We'll discuss your specific position on the strategy call and give you an honest view of what's realistic.
We continue supporting you until you complete your first acquisition. The 12-week timeline is our target and our typical result — but deal timelines can vary based on sourcing conditions, due diligence, and legal processes. We are committed to seeing you across the line.
Yes — the majority of our clients are first-time acquirers. The programme is built to take you from zero acquisition experience to a completed deal, with support at every stage. Prior business experience is helpful but not required.
We focus on asset-backed businesses in care, hospitality, and value-add property — the same sectors the Officially Invested founders have operated for over 20 years. Typical deal sizes range from £250k to £5M. We avoid highly speculative or purely digital businesses with no underlying assets.
It's a focused 30–45 minute conversation about your goals, capital, and timeline. We'll give you honest feedback on whether the programme is a fit and outline a rough acquisition plan for your situation. There is no sales pitch — if it's not the right fit, we'll tell you clearly.
Asset-backed businesses — nursing homes, hotels, resorts — give you real downside protection. If the business underperforms, the underlying property and physical assets hold value. It's the same logic the Officially Invested founders applied when building their portfolio from £300K to £65M over 22 years.
