When selling a Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance business, many owners consider the pros and cons of private equity versus strategic corporate acquirers. Both come with well-known approaches, but for many entrepreneurs, neither feels quite right. They prefer a long-term partner who provides stability and support yet still allows them to contribute value and share in the benefits of future growth through their continued entrepreneurial efforts.

Why Partner with Phenna Group?

At Phenna Group, we provide exactly that. Our approach to mergers and acquisitions is unique. We deliver the long-term security agreed at the outset, with zero dilution on your rolled equity, while also offering the flexibility, lower interference, and incentivisation tailored to the entrepreneurs’ individual circumstances and aspirations. It's a balance that gives business owners confidence while keeping their entrepreneurial spirit alive.

Since 2019, more than 80 TICC founders and entrepreneurs have chosen to partner with Phenna Group. Many of them remain with us far longer than originally anticipated, which speaks to the strength and success of our model.
