We Don't Just Advise. We Buy In.
The Makeover Group partners with operators and founders through direct equity investment. We commit capital, infrastructure, and operational capacity to businesses we believe in.
Request a Confidential ConversationWe Partner Where We Operate
Most holding companies write cheques and wait. We write cheques and show up.
The Makeover Group acquires and partners with businesses across finance, property, hospitality, and professional services. Every company in the Group benefits from shared infrastructure: accounting, compliance, marketing, hiring, and operational leadership.
We look for founders who have built something real but hit a ceiling they cannot break through alone. The constraint is rarely the product. It is usually the back office, the systems, or the bandwidth of the founding team. That is where we come in.
Our Partnership Criteria
We are selective. We partner with businesses where our operational infrastructure creates measurable value from day one.
Established revenue.
We work with businesses generating consistent income, not pre-revenue ventures. We do not speculate.
Operator-led.
The founder or operator stays involved. We invest in people who want a partner, not an exit.
Back-office bottleneck.
Finance, compliance, payroll, marketing, or operations are consuming founder time. Our infrastructure removes that constraint.
European or UK-based.
Our operational capacity is built around Italian, European, and UK regulatory environments. That is where we add the most value.
Services, trades, or property.
Our verticals span professional services, property management, hospitality, trade, and blue-collar operations. We know these industries from the inside.
Growth potential.
The business has a clear path to higher revenue with the right operational support. We partner to build, not to maintain.
From First Conversation to Full Partnership
Discovery
We begin with a confidential conversation about your business, your goals, and where you feel constrained. No pitch decks required. We want to learn how your business actually runs.
Transformation Audit
Our team conducts a detailed operational review: financials, compliance, marketing, team structure, and growth levers. This audit is free and yours to keep regardless of outcome.
Partnership Proposal
If the fit is right, we present a clear proposal: equity structure, operational commitments, shared infrastructure scope, and defined milestones. Plain terms, no jargon.
Integration
Once terms are agreed, your business plugs into the Group's shared infrastructure. Accounting, compliance, marketing, and operational support begin immediately. You stay focused on what you do best.
Growth and Governance
We operate as a genuine partner. Regular reporting, shared decision-making on strategic matters, and full transparency on performance. Your business benefits from the Group's collective scale.
Operational Infrastructure, Not Just Capital
Capital is the simplest part of any deal. What most operators actually need is the infrastructure to deploy it effectively.
Financial management.
Full-service accounting, tax compliance, and financial reporting through TMG Books. Your books handled by the same team that manages the Group's own finances.
Marketing and growth.
Strategy, content, paid acquisition, and brand positioning. The same systems that grow the Group's own portfolio companies.
Operational leadership.
Process design, hiring support, vendor management, and day-to-day operational capacity. Bandwidth you cannot hire fast enough on your own.
Compliance and regulation.
Italian, EU, and UK regulatory navigation. Payroll, contracts, corporate structuring. The complexity that slows operators down.
Technology and systems.
CRM, automation, reporting dashboards, and digital infrastructure. Built once, shared across the Group.
Invest Alongside Operators Who Build
The Makeover Group welcomes conversations with aligned investors and capital partners who share our operating philosophy.
We are not a fund. We are an operating group that acquires, builds, and runs businesses directly. Working with the Group means partnering alongside a portfolio of revenue-generating companies across finance, property, hospitality, and professional services, each managed by operators with direct accountability for performance.
We value long-term alignment over short-term returns. Our hold period is measured in years, not quarters. If you want to back a growing group of real businesses with real revenue, managed by people who work inside them every day, we should talk.
Let's Talk About What You're Building
Whether you are an operator looking for a partner or an investor looking for a group that operates, the conversation starts here.
Request a Confidential ConversationWhat Prospective Partners Ask
We work with established, revenue-generating businesses. There is no fixed minimum, but our infrastructure delivers the most value for companies where growth has outpaced the founding team's capacity to manage it alone. Pre-revenue startups are not a fit for our model.
Yes. Our partnership model is designed to keep operators involved and incentivised. Equity structures vary by deal, but we do not pursue full acquisitions where the founder exits entirely. We invest in people, not just businesses.
Professional services, finance and accounting, property management, hospitality, trade, and blue-collar operations. We are strongest in sectors where operational complexity is the primary growth constraint.
Our core infrastructure is built around Italian, European, and UK regulatory environments. We are open to conversations about businesses in adjacent markets, but our deepest operational capacity is in these regions.
Every deal is different. Discovery and audit typically take a few weeks. From there, partnership terms and integration timelines depend on the complexity of the business. We do not rush, and we do not delay unnecessarily.
Yes. The audit is yours regardless of whether we move forward with a partnership. We conduct it because it gives both sides the clarity needed to make a good decision. There is no obligation attached.
