I'm Hasaan Raza, founder of Civsec Group, based in London, UK. My background is unconventional for the acquisition world. I spent seven years in the Royal Marines before building a career in specialist security operations and entrepreneurship, founding Civsec in 2023. Through operating in the sector, I recognised a broader opportunity to acquire established, profitable businesses providing essential services to the built environment. **What we're building** Civsec is developing a long term acquisition group focused primarily on the UK, while remaining selectively open to opportunities in the US and Europe where there is a compelling strategic rationale. Our core sectors include fire and security, building compliance, electrical maintenance and adjacent technical services. We target established, profitable businesses with recurring or repeat revenues, strong customer relationships and experienced management. Our strategy is to preserve successful operating teams while strengthening financial discipline, governance, commercial development and capital allocation at group level. **Where we are** We're progressing several UK acquisition opportunities towards LOI, with initial platform targets generally generating £500,000 to £3 million (approximately $670,000 to $4 million) in EBITDA. Our intended financing structures combine senior acquisition debt, external equity and potentially subordinated seller consideration. We have developed an active acquisition pipeline and are now establishing the capital partnerships required to execute our first transactions. **What we're seeking** We're actively seeking acquisition equity partners, including family offices, independent sponsor investors and private capital providers with an appetite for established UK businesses. Indicative transaction specific equity requirements range from £500,000 to £3 million (approximately $670,000 to $4 million), depending on the acquisition and financing structure. We welcome both anchor investors and co-investors, with opportunities considered individually through acquisition specific investment vehicles. Our model differs from a traditional funded search. Civsec would lead acquisitions, capital allocation and group development, while experienced management teams oversee the operating businesses. We're particularly interested in investors comfortable backing an emerging independent sponsor and building a longer term relationship as the platform develops. **The ambition** To build a substantial, enduring group of essential and technical services businesses over the next decade, creating value through sustainable cash generation, operational improvements and disciplined acquisitions. If this aligns with your investment mandate, I'd welcome a conversation.
