Direct buyer and long-term owner of an established essential services business in Australia

I'm Alex Camacho, Director of ALX Enterprises. I'm a direct buyer searching for one established, well-run B2B services business to acquire and lead full-time as owner-operator. Whether you're looking to sell your business or plan your succession, you deal directly with me throughout the process. My focus after acquisition is simple: look after the team, keep serving customers well, and build on what already works.

Start a Conversation What I'm Looking For

Sell your business to a buyer who values what you've built

Stepping back from a business you have built over many years is a big decision. Many owners care not just about price, but about who takes over, what happens to the team, and how customers continue to be looked after. My goal is to take over carefully, keep things stable, and lead the business for the long term. Funding is committed and ready, so owners are dealing with a serious buyer who can transact.

Deal directly with the buyer

You deal directly with me, the person who will acquire and lead the business, not a distant investment committee or a rotating cast of analysts.

Long-term ownership, not a quick flip

I am buying one business to own and run for the long term — not to build a portfolio, not to work to a fixed exit timeline, and not to put decisions behind a committee. I'm here to keep things stable and build on what already works.

Your team and customers matter

Staff continuity, customer relationships, and service quality matter more than making change for its own sake. In the early months, the priority is to learn the business, earn the trust of the people already in it, and keep things stable.

Confidential business sale process

All conversations are confidential from day one, timing is flexible, and the handover can be phased in a way that works for you, your team, and your customers.

Initial conversations are informal and confidential. If there's a fit, we can then talk about timing, involvement, and what a sensible handover could look like.

HOW IT WORKS

How the business acquisition process works

1
Confidential conversation
No commitment, no pressure. A confidential conversation to understand your situation and goals.
2
Confidentiality & information sharing
If there is mutual interest, we sign a confidentiality agreement and share key information — financials, operations, and how each side works. Everything stays confidential.
3
Preliminary offer
If there's a good fit, I'll present a clear, written non-binding offer covering price, structure, and key conditions. Clear terms based on the information available at that stage. If due diligence uncovers anything material, we'll discuss it openly and early.
4
Due diligence & transition planning
A thorough but respectful process, working alongside you to review the business in detail, finalise documentation, and plan the transition. The goal is clear communication and minimal disruption to your team and operations.
5
Settlement & handover
Once final documents are agreed and conditions are met, ownership transfers. I step in full-time as owner-operator. The goal is continuity for your team, your customers, and the business you built.

This is a guide, not a rigid process. Timing and structure adapt to your situation.
Many transactions complete within 3–6 months.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an established B2B services business where the work is essential, not discretionary. The kind of business customers rely on to stay compliant, stay safe, stay insured, or keep their operations running.

Typical examples include commercial cleaning, pest control, waste services, fire protection, HVAC service and maintenance, building controls, electrical testing and tagging, plumbing maintenance, managed IT services, and related recurring service businesses tied to safety, regulation, or operational uptime across Australia.

Revenue Predominantly recurring or contracted revenue, with strong customer retention and low reliance on one-off project work.
Scale An established, profitable business with a history of dependable earnings, loyal customers, and a strong reputation.
Customers Long-standing customer relationships, no heavy reliance on a single client, and strong retention across accounts or sites.
Operations A stable workforce, clear systems, and technical capability that does not depend solely on the current owner.

Every business is different. I evaluate opportunities on their merits.

Alex Camacho

Alex Camacho — Director of ALX Enterprises, business buyer in Australia

I founded, ran, and later sold a commercial cleaning business across multiple locations. I managed a team and ran operations across multiple commercial sites, and handled everything from quoting and scheduling to payroll and cash flow.

I then spent a decade in financial services, working with business owners and families across advisory, risk, and long-term investing. Most recently, I was an equal equity partner in a financial advisory practice, where I helped build the business systems, client operations, and growth strategy before exiting in December 2025 to focus on ALX full-time.

I left that partnership because I wanted to own and operate a business directly again. After years of advising others, I decided to commit fully to acquiring and leading a business myself. ALX is the result.

My focus is on acquiring and leading one established business for the long term. Growth, where appropriate, would be built around the core business rather than changing what made it successful in the first place.

After an acquisition, I step in as the full-time owner-operator. Technical and licensed work stays with the qualified team in the business. My focus is on the commercial side: finances, team leadership, customer relationships, and building better systems over time.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions business owners ask about selling

Staff continuity is important to me. The goal is to keep the existing team in place, learn the business from them, and build trust before considering any changes.
Many transactions complete within 3–6 months, depending on complexity and preparedness. I move at whatever pace works for you.
I use standard valuation methods, including earnings multiples and, where relevant, asset backing, and I work with independent advisers. My aim is transparent, well-supported pricing, not an artificially low starting point.
The intention is to keep the brand and business name. I am buying the business because it works. The goal is to preserve the reputation and goodwill you have built, not change things for the sake of it.
Not necessarily. I’m comfortable working directly with owners or through a broker or adviser. If you have one, I respect their role and process fully.
I’m one person buying one business to run full-time. No portfolio of companies, no fixed timeline forcing a resale, and no distant committee making decisions. You deal directly with me, and I’ll be the one running the business day to day.
Yes. Any information you share is treated confidentially and, where needed, only shared with professional advisers or funding partners on a confidential basis. I’m happy to put a confidentiality agreement in place before any detailed information is shared.
No hard feelings. Many conversations don’t lead to a deal, and that’s completely fine. There’s no cost or obligation to having an initial conversation.
Acquisitions are funded through a combination of equity from private investors and senior debt, assembled around the right opportunity. I lead the process and step in as full-time owner-operator.
