We buy and grow small, profitable service businesses — quietly, respectfully, and on terms that work for the people who built them.
Start a confidential conversationAiredale Business Group is a privately-held family business based near Leeds, West Yorkshire. We invest in and acquire small, well-established trade and service businesses across Yorkshire and the surrounding region, with a long-term view — we're not a private equity fund looking for a quick exit, and we're not a corporate buyer. We're hands-on operators who understand what it takes to build a business, and we look after what we buy.
We're actively looking to acquire profitable, owner-run businesses in the following sectors, particularly across Yorkshire:
CCTV surveys, jetting, leak detection, maintenance contracts.
Alarm systems, extinguisher servicing, CCTV, access control.
Commercial cleaning, specialist and washroom hygiene services.
Commercial and residential pest management businesses.
Gas, heating and mechanical services businesses.
Maintenance, compliance and facilities management providers.
If you own a business like this and are weighing up your options — whether that's retirement, a change of direction, or simply curiosity about what your business is worth — here's how we work.
Every conversation is private. We're happy to sign an NDA before any details are shared.
An initial conversation commits you to nothing. We're happy to talk even if a sale is years away.
Where it makes sense, we keep the name, the team and the way you've built things up.
As a private family group, we can make decisions fast when the fit is right.
If you'd like a confidential, no-obligation conversation, we'd be glad to hear from you.
