Operator-led acquisition opportunity in UK EdTech

I am currently reviewing the potential acquisition of a profitable, founder-led UK EdTech business with a strong niche position in digital learning, assessment, and teacher support. The business has several attractive characteristics: * c.£911k FY2025 revenue * c.£420k FY2025 adjusted EBITDA * Over 90% annual renewal rate * 98.9% subscription-based customer contracts * No single customer representing more than 1% of annual revenue * Proprietary platform, owned content, and a defensible education-led product * Clear growth routes through subject expansion, international, paid revision, and AI-enabled assessment tools My interest is not passive. I would be approaching this as an operator-led acquisition, with a focus on disciplined diligence, founder transition, commercial execution, and building a scalable operating cadence post-completion. I am looking to speak with investors, sponsors, or acquisition partners who are interested in backing a cash-generative niche education platform where the value creation case is based on retention, recurring revenue, product expansion, and professionalised growth. The ideal partner would be comfortable with a structure that combines equity investment, vendor financing, and performance-linked deferred consideration, rather than relying solely on cash at completion. Happy to connect with anyone actively looking at UK lower mid-market, EdTech, recurring revenue, or operator-led acquisition opportunities.
