About FutureWay Group
We buy British businesses
the way they were built to be run.
FutureWay Group is a private acquirer of established UK SMEs. We are not a fund and we are not consultants. We are three partners who buy companies, keep the staff, keep the name, and roll up our sleeves.
Our approach
A safe pair of hands for the business you built.
Many buyers look at a business as a collection of spreadsheets. We look at it for what it is: a living organisation built on relationships, hard work, and daily execution.
When a founder prepares to step back, they are not looking for an exit spreadsheet. They are looking for someone who will protect the staff, the clients and the standard.
- Established, profitable UK SMEs
- Sectors with recurring or compliance-driven revenue
- Owners planning a genuine step-back, not a hand-off in name only

The team behind the transition.
20+

The partners
Three people. Three disciplines. One table.
We cover the three pillars that make an acquisition actually work: finding the right business, structuring a fair deal, and running it well the morning after.
Alfred Awosanya
Commercial & Technology
Nearly a decade in enterprise B2B sales at Gartner, Twilio, Quantum Metric and Medallia. Alfred spots underperforming revenue and rebuilds client relationships that stick.
Lars van Maanen
Deals & Transition
Has bought and run businesses himself, notably in home care. Structures transactions that are transparent, workable and respectful of the realities after the handover.
Rob Pegg
Operations
A career in running service businesses and leading frontline teams. Rob keeps daily delivery steady so the business does not skip a beat when ownership changes hands.
What we believe
A few things we hold to, without exception.
01
Businesses are people, not spreadsheets.
A P&L tells you what has already happened. It does not tell you why the phones still ring on a Monday morning. We buy the reason.
02
Legacy is a serious word.
When a founder hands over a company, they are handing over relationships, staff livelihoods, and their name in the market. We treat that with the weight it deserves.
03
Operators, not investors.
We are not writing cheques from a distance. We show up, we run the business, and we are accountable to the people who work in it.
What sellers tell us
“They were the first buyers who asked about the team by name before they asked about the numbers. That told me everything.”
