The succession wave — and an operator team to capture it.
A generation of profitable Spanish SMEs is reaching succession with no clear buyer. We acquire them at fair value, grow them as operators, and hold for the long term — and we invite investors to co-invest alongside us.
Why this, why now, why us.
The opportunity
Thousands of profitable Spanish SMEs face owner retirement with no successor — a structural, under-served buying opportunity at attractive multiples.
The edge
We operate, we don't just buy. Turnarounds in demanding markets, commercial growth, elderly-care domain know-how, and AI applied to operations and diligence.
The alignment
An emerging fund where the partners commit their own capital and operating time. Investors co-invest alongside — fair entry, grow EBITDA, long-term hold.
The operating levers behind every acquisition.
After we acquire, four levers compound EBITDA. They are also how we build trust with owners before a deal.
A repeatable way to find and earn deals.
Proprietary outreach
We reach owners directly, not through brokers — building a proprietary pipeline across Catalonia and Spain.
Build trust early
Advice, gestoría and AI create a relationship long before any transaction.
The natural buyer
When succession arrives, we are already the trusted, prepared buyer.
AI-assisted diligence
We analyse targets faster and deeper, turning data into conviction.
ArduraCare
ArduraCare is where we already buy and operate with our own capital — residential carehomes across Catalonia. It is the live evidence the model works.

We buy at fair multiples, grow EBITDA through hands-on operations, and hold for the long term. The targets below reflect our active-pipeline modelling — illustrative, not a guarantee.
Targets are illustrative, derived from our current pipeline modelling and stepped below our base-case underwriting. They are not a forecast, an offer, or a guarantee of future performance. Full deal-level modelling is shared under NDA.
Co-invest, deal by deal — alongside us.
You don't commit to a blind pool. You see each opportunity and choose whether to participate — investing alongside the partners, who put in their own capital and run the business day to day.
Incentives are fully aligned: we only do well when you do. It's the same structure behind our live deals — investors and Ardura together, with the founder often rolling equity into the new company.
