Our Founders
UIM service providers are the UK's hidden fourth emergency service—unseen, yet always essential. When drainage, pumps, and pipes fail, communities and commerce grind to a halt. We love providing services that truly matter, offering reliability exactly when it counts.
Our Investment Criteria
Our typical acquisition structure is based on a "partnership "approach. We take a majority stake, offering founders a material cash out opportunity to derisk whilst you continue scaling the business into a market leader with SoFlow's additional support and capital.
1
Focus
We acquire companies in 4 key areas: pump services, pipe services, tankerage and jet/UHP washing.
2
Customers
We look for businesses with a strong (60%+) commercial customer focus.
3
Financials
We look for businesses that are growing (5% p.a) and profitable (£500k+ EBITDA) with recurring/contracted revenue base.
4
Founders
We look for businesses where Founders want to actively participate in the continued growth of the business.
