97% of Business Buyers Never Acquire a Single Business
The difference isn't ambition; it's access. The market is saturated with "tyre-kickers," unqualified deals, and endless screening calls. This friction is the single greatest obstacle to building a meaningful portfolio
Successful entrepreneurs know their time is best spent on high-value activity: running their portfolios and closing real opportunities. The hunt for the next deal is a distraction. For our partners, it’s a headache we’ve removed.
A True Partnership, Built for Acquirers.
Mitton Ridge Partners is not a service provider; we are your M&A partner. We are a selective, high-calibre group capped at 10 partners. Our model is built on a clear division of labour: we are exceptionally good at finding deals. You are good at closing them.
We manage everything upstream. Our incentive is aligned with yours, with shared "skin in the game" through equity stakes and profit shares. This isn’t a coaching program ; it’s a working partnership designed to build long-term equity value.
