About Us

We protect founder legacies while helping companies grow with confidence.

Mission

A long-term home for British businesses

At Astra, we acquire exceptional small and medium-sized enterprises across the UK.

Our belief is simple: SMEs are the lifeblood of Britain’s economy, and they deserve a secure future. Too many businesses face succession challenges when founders step back. We offer a solution — combining patient capital, deep expertise, and a genuine commitment to ensure their legacies endure for generations.

If you know a small business where the owner is open to selling - whether you're a broker, advisor, friend, accountant, or neighbour - send us the lead. If we close the deal, we’ll reward you for the connection.
