Aysan Capital Partners (ACP) is an operator-led UK private equity platform focused on acquiring and building durable essential service businesses.
We invest where cash flow is real, demand is structural, and operational improvement—not financial engineering—is the primary driver of value creation. Our focus is on fragmented UK service sectors where disciplined acquisitions, professionalisation, and hands-on operatorship can compound long-term value.
ACP targets businesses that are operationally critical to their customers yet under-optimised internally. These are often founder-led companies with strong client relationships, recurring revenues, and resilient demand, but limited systems, data, or strategic support. Our role is to bring institutional discipline without institutional bureaucracy.
What differentiates ACP is our operator-first approach. We do not outsource value creation. We work directly inside our portfolio companies to strengthen fundamentals: financial controls, operational processes, management cadence, pricing discipline, technology enablement, and risk management. Capital is a tool—not the thesis.
We structure acquisitions conservatively, prioritising downside protection, aligned incentives, and sustainable leverage. Our approach is shaped by a long-term ownership mindset: build businesses that are resilient across cycles, attractive to lenders, credible to future investors, and trusted by customers and employees alike.
ACP is built for clarity in a market often clouded by narrative. We believe private equity works best when incentives are aligned, information is transparent, and operators are accountable.
Our ambition is simple:
to compound capital by building better businesses—carefully, patiently, and with conviction.
