Consulting, mergers and acquisitions, from people who own and run companies.

We advise owners and boards on selling, buying and growing their businesses, and we acquire technology companies ourselves, so our advice comes from running them.

SmartBox Group
Group structure, simplified. Each company runs independently and has its own website.

Why SmartBox

SmartBox is a holding company for advanced, new and creative technologies. Each company in the Group puts something clever inside a box: a battery that stores the grid's power, a rack that runs a data centre, a sensor that measures to the micron.

Advanced technologies
Proven engineering that industry depends on, such as precision measurement and data centre infrastructure.
New technologies
Fields that are growing fast and changing how energy and computing work, such as battery storage and AI hosting.
Creative technologies
New ways of combining and applying technology, and the ideas we back before they become companies.

How a transaction runs

  1. First conversation

    A confidential discussion of the company, your goals and timing. No commitment.

  2. Assessment

    We review the business, the market and the realistic options, and give you a written view.

  3. Preparation

    Valuation, documents and a list of buyers, targets or investors, all under NDA.

  4. Negotiation

    We run the process, manage due diligence and negotiate terms with your lawyers.

  5. Completion and after

    Signing, closing and, where useful, support with integration and the first year.
