SME Co-Investing
The Archimax Way. 

Partnering with investors to co-own resilient, cash-flowing SMEs led by experienced ETA buyers, with structured governance and long-term support.

About Archimax Global Solutions

Archimax Global Solutions Ltd is a UK-based advisory firm focused on the strategic and operational aspects of SME acquisitions led by experienced buyers and operators. We support a private investor network by providing institutional-grade research, transaction evaluation, and governance insight for SME acquisitions, typically structured as single-deal co-investments. Many of these opportunities are introduced and supported by members of the B.O.R.I.N.G. Investment Club (Buy-Outs of Resilient INcome-Generating businesses), a private, invitation-only group of professional investors. The opportunity in this market is timely and significant. Across the UK and Europe, a generation of SME owners is preparing to step back. Many of these businesses are profitable, stable, and overlooked. They may not grab headlines, but they offer durable cash flows, strong local presence, and clear operational levers. These are the types of companies we focus on: consistent, well-positioned, and often under-managed. We refer to them as wonderfully boring. Our approach draws on more than 25 years of experience in venture capital, fund management, and institutional investing. We apply that experience to each transaction we support, using our structured and proprietary B.E.S.T. F.I.T. framework that assesses business fundamentals, buyer quality, deal terms, and alignment of interest. We operate exclusively at the deal-ready stage. The buyers we work with are not searching for targets. They have already identified specific businesses and are seeking aligned capital and advisory support to complete the transaction and scale the business. We support both sides of the transaction—investors and buyers—through a model that offers: • Rigorous transaction evaluation based on operational, financial, and strategic factors • Access to experienced SME operators with relevant sector knowledge • Transparent co-investment structures with clear governance arrangements • Ongoing post-transaction support including board representation, reporting oversight, and strategic input Archimax Global Solutions Ltd does not arrange investments, provide financial advice, or conduct any activity regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. Our services are limited to strategic evaluation, governance input, and operational advisory within a private, professional investment context.

What We Do

We support a private network of professional investors in accessing and evaluating resilient SME acquisitions led by experienced business buyers. We operate across three integrated pillars:

Sourcing &
Evaluation

We evaluate experienced buyers and deal-ready SME transactions seeking aligned capital.

We identify seasoned Entrepreneurship through Acquisition (ETA) buyers who already have a specific SME acquisition or expansion opportunity and are seeking complementary capital and strategic support. Each transaction is reviewed using our structured, institutional-style diligence process and proprietary B.E.S.T. F.I.T. framework, assessing: • The buyer’s track record, operational capability, and investment rationale • The target’s financial strength, cash flow profile, and management team • Deal structure, governance terms, and incentive alignment This disciplined approach ensures only high-quality, execution-ready opportunities are shared with our investment network.

Co-Investment
Access

We facilitate structured access to resilient SME acquisitions through single-deal co-investments.

Post-Investment Oversight

We remain involved post-acquisition to represent investors and support strategic execution.

We support the B.O.R.I.N.G. Investment Club, a private, invitation-only group of professional investors who participate in co-investment opportunities alongside experienced SME operators. Each transaction is structured through a dedicated single-deal SPV in Luxembourg, independently managed by a regulated third-party provider, and presented with: • Clear acquisition rationale and growth strategy • Defined governance rights and investor protections • Transparent, straightforward participation terms with no blind capital or pooled fund The model offers flexibility, visibility, and direct ownership from day one.

Our role continues beyond completion. We provide structured support to both investors and operators throughout the ownership period to help preserve alignment and drive long-term value. This includes: • Representing co-investors through formal board or advisory appointments • Oversight of performance reporting, distributions, and milestones • Strategic input across pricing, systems, expansion, and succession • Enhancing operational quality, governance, and exit preparedness By staying actively engaged, we help create the conditions for sustainable growth and optionality at exit.

Who We Work With

We support a select group of aligned participants primarily across the UK and Europe, including:

Experienced ETA buyers and acquisition entrepreneurs

With a track record of execution and a deal-ready acquisition or expansion opportunity. We support these operators with strategic input, capital introductions, and post-acquisition value-building and governance services.

 

Professional investors and family offices

Participating in structured SME co-investments via vehicles such as the B.O.R.I.N.G. Investment Club, which is supported by Archimax Global Holdings SRL. While Archimax Global Solutions Ltd may contribute governance and strategic support post-investment, it operates independently and is not exclusive to any single vehicle or group.

 

Private companies, investment firms, and founders

We work directly with SMEs, startups, and investment funds seeking trusted, experienced partners to support growth, transition, or institutionalisation. This includes non-executive board roles, operational transformation, strategic advisory, and exit preparation.
