Your business deserves
the right next chapter.

My name is Andrew Rohrer. I'm a former business owner who sold my own company in 2024 and am now building a portfolio of great businesses across the South of England. If you've received a letter from me, this is where you find out who I am and why I've been in touch.

About Andrew

I've been in your position.

In June 2024, after building Tiger Plant Hire in Swindon, I sold my business to a trade buyer for a seven-figure sum. I know what it feels like to hand over something you've built from nothing.

I understand the questions that keep you up at night: Will they look after my people? Will they respect what I've created? Will the business survive under new ownership?

Those questions are exactly why I'm building Swissomatic the way I am, and why I've reached out to you specifically. I'm not a fund or a faceless investor. I'm an owner-operator who wants to find exceptional businesses and give them the platform to grow.

Andrew Rohrer, founder of Swissomatic

Why Swissomatic?

A name with a story behind it.

My grandfather was Swiss. He built a precision engineering company, Swissomatic, from nothing, through graft, exacting standards and an unshakeable belief in doing right by his customers. He was good at what he did, and he built something he was genuinely proud of.

When a major customer failed to pay after completing a large project, it cost him everything. His business didn't survive.

Swissomatic is named in his memory. It's a reminder that good businesses, run by good people, deserve better outcomes than that. Every business I acquire, I commit to protecting its future, not hollowing it out.

What I'm looking for

The businesses I want to buy.

I'm looking for established, well-run businesses in the Southwest and South of England with a good trading history, loyal customers and a management team that knows what it's doing. You don't need to be actively planning to sell. If you've ever wondered what the right exit might look like, I'd like to have that conversation.

Geography

Southwest England and the South of England

Key criteria

How I work

This isn't asset stripping.
It's custodianship.

I'm not a private equity firm. I'm not a trade buyer looking to absorb your business and strip out costs. I have substantial financial backing and a clear ambition: to find exceptional businesses in this sector and give them the platform to grow, with their identity, team and values intact.

01

Your name stays.

You've spent years, possibly decades, building your reputation. I have no interest in rebranding what you've created. Your name, your identity and your brand continue.

02

Your team stays.

People are the business. I want to keep your team in place, add to it where it makes sense, and build on what already works, not dismantle it.

03

Flexible deal structures.

I'm open to earn-outs, staged payments and transition arrangements that reflect your specific circumstances. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here.

04

Backed to complete.

I have substantial financial backing in place. When I make an offer, I'm in a position to move. There's no fundraising delay or committee approval to navigate.

A note on The Exit Advisor

You may have come across The Exit Advisor, a separate business I run that helps owners prepare for and navigate a sale. I want to be transparent: if you've received a letter from me, it's because your business fits the criteria for my own acquisition portfolio. These are two entirely separate activities. I'm reaching out as a buyer, not as a consultant looking to add you to an advisory pipeline.

Get in touch

Let's have a conversation.

No commitment. No pressure. If you're curious about what a sale might look like, or simply want to understand your options, I'm happy to talk it through.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch very shortly.
