We invest in specialist service businesses to build the UK’s first single-partner platform for SMEs.

The Jacobs Group exists because UK SMEs deserve better odds. There are 5.5M+ small and medium‑sized businesses, yet too many fail not for lack of ideas, but for lack of strong foundations across IT, cyber security, finance, HR, marketing, sales and legal. Owners juggle multiple suppliers with no one seeing the whole picture.Our mission is to change that. We are an acquisition firm acquiring and integrating specialist business services companies into a single, technology‑led partner for SMEs. One point of contact, a unified view of the business, and a golden thread of insight that enables smarter decisions and stronger growth.

Founded 2025 • 29 key UK cities • Local teams, national strength

Our Purpose

To help every small and medium-sized business increase its chances of success by providing the essential business services they need to grow.

Most small businesses juggle 6 to 10 suppliers for core functions. We integrate those essentials under one roof, so owners get clarity, control, and time back.

Goal

29

Focus Cities
By combining technology at the centre of all services with a disruptive service delivery model, THE JACOBS GROUP LTD. will position itself as the leading challenger in the business services industry. Our ultimate aim is to improve the survival and success rates of the UK’s 5.5 million startups, small, and medium businesses, giving them the strong foundations they need to thrive.

Investment Thesis

A single, trusted partner that makes the busywork of business simple, so SMEs can focus on growth.

Massive market potential

5.5M+ UK SMEs, a fragmented vendor landscape (typically 6–10 suppliers per business) and rising complexity. Consolidating foundational services under one roof removes waste and unlocks scale efficiencies. See Seller Pack for focus locations and market sizing.

Proven demand

SMEs repeatedly cite IT, finance, HR, sales and compliance as top pain points. Starting with IT & Cyber, the heartbeat of modern business, gives us a natural entry point, trust and the data “golden thread” to improve decisions.

Scalable, repeatable model

Local Cells deliver high-touch service; a central Head Office & Innovation Hub standardises tools, automation and quality. One playbook, replicated city by city for consistency, speed and control.

Cross-sell & upsell flywheel

IT & Cyber entry unlocks HR, Finance, Marketing and Legal. Multi-service adoption increases stickiness, lifts average revenue per client and reduces churn.

Clear long-term value creation

Combine disciplined M&A with organic scaling. Targeting a £100m+ valuation within 10 years with multiple exit paths (AIM IPO, trade sale or private equity secondary).

How our model works

Local Cells: Small, dedicated teams serving a limited number of clients per city. Personal, responsive, and accountable.

 

Head Office: The strategic backbone, supporting each cell with centralised finance, HR, legal, marketing, and operations, keeping every Cell consistent and efficient to focus on customer success.

 

Innovation Hub: Our R&D engine imagines, tests and implements everything internally, in a real world environment, before ever taking it to market.

 

Commercials: Predictable billing, low barrier to entry, and easy terms.
