About Hartley Capital Group.
Built by people who understand trade.
Hartley Capital Group is a private acquisition vehicle founded by three brothers building a group of essential services businesses across the North of England and Scotland, with a view to a strategic exit in five to ten years.
Over 10 years in the trade and 15 years in financial services means we understand these businesses from the inside. This is not a financial buyer who doesn't understand the sector. We know the businesses we buy and we respect the people who built them.
We acquire directly from founders. We don't depend on brokers. We move at a pace that suits the seller.
"Most owners don't seriously think about selling until they're ready. By then, they often wish they'd started the conversation earlier."
We deal with the principals from day one. No broker layers, no long chains.
Engineering and trade backgrounds. We know how these businesses work.
We're building a group, not flipping an asset. Your team and reputation matter after completion.
Nothing reaches your staff, your clients or the market without your say-so.
A buyer who has been on the tools.
Over 10 years in the trade and 15 years in financial services means we understand these businesses from the inside. We are not financial buyers learning your sector from a spreadsheet.
