Purpose-built to grow
great companies.
A modern private equity model that acquires profitable UK SMEs, transforms their operations through custom software and systemization, and positions them for premium exits.
Structural barriers prevent
strong exit outcomes.
Many UK SMEs achieve operational success but fail to translate this into strong exit valuations. Despite years of profitability, these businesses frequently fall short when assessed by strategic buyers or institutional investors.
Sekuna addresses these structural barriers by combining M&A expertise with hands-on technology development, creating acquisition-ready businesses positioned for premium exits.
