Acquisition Approach

Selective by design.

We look for specialist MedTech products and services businesses with durable customer relationships, high standards of quality and compliance, attractive cash economics and leaders who care deeply about the future of the company.

Where we focus

Across the MedTech value chain.

Qualeris targets founder-led UK and Ireland businesses across the regulated medtech value chain — from proprietary products and diagnostics to the services that keep them compliant, available and safe throughout their lifecycle.

Medical Devices & Equipment

Proprietary devices, surgical instruments, patient monitoring, mobility, rehabilitation, dental, ophthalmic and specialist clinical equipment.

Diagnostics & Laboratory

IVD instruments and reagents, point-of-care testing, pathology and laboratory equipment, sample handling and associated technical support.

Consumables & Infection Control

Single-use products, procedure packs, wound care, sterilisation, decontamination, cleanroom and contamination-control products.

Specialist Supply & Distribution

Value-added distribution of regulated products, implants, devices and consumables, supported by product expertise, training and recurring customer demand.

Engineering & Lifecycle Services

Clinical engineering, maintenance, calibration, metrology, validation, asset management, decommissioning and equipment compliance services.

Regulatory & Outsourced Services

Regulatory affairs, quality systems, testing, contract manufacturing, packaging, software, training and post-market support for regulated products.

Business quality

What we look for.

Qualeris acquires businesses that are structurally defensive, operationally proven and capable of long-term compounding with a minimum of £0.5m EBITDA and 10 team members — not turnarounds, not start-ups, and not businesses dependent on a single customer or contract.

Regulatory Accreditations

Sector-equivalent accreditations confirming technical authority and creating meaningful barriers to entry for new competitors.

Recurring Revenue

Annual contracted revenue streams providing predictable, visible cashflow, with demonstrably low client churn.

Defensible Relationships

Long-standing relationships with customers who face significant regulatory risk if they switch providers.

Strong Profit Conversion

Good cash conversion characteristics, low capital intensity and disciplined cost bases.

Founder-Led Culture

Owner-managed businesses where the founder is motivated by legacy and a permanent home, not a rushed sale.

Room to Compound

Businesses operating in adjacencies where quality can be added and the platform's positioning strengthened over time.

Focus areas

We are selective. We prefer a small number of excellent acquisitions to growth for its own sake.

Considering succession, or building a long-term investment relationship?

We are comfortable beginning conversations years before a transaction. Confidentiality, honesty and mutual fit matter more than speed.
