Partnerships and Acquisitions

We partner with subcontractor and white-label operators, complementary service providers (rope access, scaffolding, engineering), technology and sensor companies, channel partners (consultancies, brokers, loss adjusters), and joint venture partners for large contracts or geographic expansion. The common thread is mutual value and a shared commitment to quality.

You deliver inspection, survey, or data capture services under the DeepSky IQ brand using our quality framework and platform. We provide the client pipeline, project management, and reporting infrastructure. You maintain your independence and focus on what you do best. Commercial terms are transparent and agreed upfront.

Structured referral arrangements with transparent commercial terms. Your clients need inspection data before, during, or after your core service. We deliver it without competing with you. Your client relationship stays intact. We report to your standards and can white-label deliverables if required.

Real-world deployment across a national portfolio of assets and industries. We provide validation data, case studies, and a distribution channel for your sensors, software, or platform. You get field feedback that improves your product. We get early access to capability that differentiates our service offering.

No. Most of our partnerships are non-exclusive. You continue operating your business and serving your own clients. The partnership adds work and capability without restricting your existing operations. Exclusivity is only discussed where both parties see clear mutual benefit in a specific region or sector.

We are open to businesses from $100K to $10M+ in revenue. The conversation is about strategic fit, not just size. A two-person operation with strong recurring council contracts is as interesting as a larger diversified business. What matters is client quality, technical capability, and geographic or sector fit.

That is entirely your choice. Some founders want a clean exit. Others want to continue operating with group support, fewer administrative burdens, and access to a broader client base. We structure the transition around your preference and agree the terms upfront.

We use a multiple of normalised EBITDA, adjusted for recurring revenue quality, client concentration, growth trajectory, equipment condition, and team retention likelihood. We are transparent about our methodology and walk you through the numbers. No aggressive tactics, no last-minute retrading.

The people who deliver the work are the people we want to keep. We acquire businesses because of their capability, client relationships, and the teams behind them. After completion, we look at how the group can best support the existing team with resources, training, career development, and reduced administrative burden. Any structural changes are discussed openly during due diligence so everyone has clarity before completion.

Yes. Many of our best conversations start 12-24 months before a transaction. Understanding your options early gives you time to prepare: clean up financials, reduce client concentration, document processes, and build a team that operates without you. A confidential conversation costs nothing and gives you clarity on what your business could be worth today and what would increase that value.
