Private Business Acquisitions · Liverpool
Xavier Capital Holdings is a private holding company based in Liverpool. We acquire established owner-managed businesses and commit to protecting what has been built — not disrupting it.
We are not a fund. We do not buy to sell. We are a private buyer seeking one good business to own and operate for the long term.
Who We Are
Xavier Capital Holdings is led by Xavier Ho, who brings seven years of financial risk analysis and due diligence experience within a major UK banking group, together with direct experience of property investment and business operations. The company was incorporated in England and Wales with a single clear purpose: to acquire and steward one well-run business at a time.
The principal will be actively involved from day one — not a distant investor. We work alongside existing staff and management during the transition and beyond.
We do not acquire businesses to restructure and sell them on. Our intention is long-term ownership. The businesses we acquire continue operating under their own identity.
Every conversation is treated with absolute confidentiality. We understand that most business owners begin thinking about succession years before they are ready to act.
What We Acquire
We look for well-run businesses where the owner is thinking about retirement or succession, but has not yet found the right person to hand over to. We are not in a hurry, and we are not looking for a deal — we are looking for the right business.
Sectors
B2B services, logistics, commercial distribution, and light manufacturing. Not retail, hospitality, or consumer-facing businesses.
Geography
United Kingdom, with an initial focus on the Northwest — Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and Lancashire.
Business Size
Annual turnover between £500,000 and £1,500,000. Profitable for a minimum of five consecutive years.
The Right Situation
An owner-managed business where the founder is approaching retirement and wants a clean, private succession — without going through a public broker process.
Our Approach
Many owners who speak to us have been thinking about what comes next for years. They do not want to list their business publicly, deal with a parade of unknown buyers, or risk their staff finding out before anything is agreed. We offer a different kind of conversation.
No obligation, no pressure, no public listing. We have a single confidential conversation to understand your situation and your timeline.
We do not acquire businesses to cut costs or restructure them. Existing staff, customer relationships, and day-to-day operations continue without disruption.
We understand that a clean cash purchase is not always what works best. We are open to discussing structures that suit your retirement plans and timeline.
Our background in financial risk analysis means we review financial records quickly and accurately. We do not spend months requesting information we do not intend to use.
How It Works
A strictly confidential call or meeting to understand your circumstances, your timeline, and what matters most to you. There is no obligation and no expectation of a decision at this stage.
If there is a potential fit, we carry out a simple, efficient review of the business. We are experienced in reviewing financial records and we keep the process straightforward.
If we agree to proceed, we work with you to structure a handover that protects your staff and reflects your personal objectives. We require a three-to-six month working transition period as standard.
Direct Contact
If you are the owner of an established business and you have ever thought about what comes next — even if that conversation is years away — you are welcome to reach out directly. All enquiries are handled personally and with complete discretion.
