Eranos operates exclusively within three sectors where the team has genuine, hands-on experience — not as advisers parachuting in, but as operators who have worked directly with founders, management teams, and investors across the full business lifecycle.

Insights & Research

Data & AnalyticsSubscriptionsM&A

Market research, data analytics, and intelligence businesses sit at the intersection of recurring revenue, proprietary methodology, and client relationships — which makes them genuinely attractive to acquirers when positioned correctly.

Eranos has worked directly with founders and management teams across some of the UK's leading insights businesses.

  • Subscription ARR and revenue quality analysis
  • Client concentration risk and mitigation
  • Data moat and IP positioning for exit
  • Commercial model design for early-stage insights ventures
  • Acquirer identification and approach for exit-ready businesses

Environmental Services

EcologySustainabilityRegulatory

Ecology, environmental consultancy, and sustainability businesses are experiencing a structural tailwind driven by Biodiversity Net Gain legislation, net zero commitments, and an increasingly complex planning environment.

The sector has its own dynamics that generalist advisers miss. Workforce model, regulatory positioning, and public/private revenue balance all materially affect value.

  • Regulatory landscape — BNG, net zero, planning requirements
  • Workforce model and utilisation analysis
  • Framework agreement positioning and renewal risk
  • Public vs private sector revenue balance
  • PE and strategic acquirer identification and approach

Social Care

CommissioningRegulationGrowth

Social care providers operate in one of the most complex commercial environments in the UK — navigating local authority commissioning, CQC regulation, workforce pressures, and the constant tension between quality of care and financial sustainability.

We have worked with residential, domiciliary, and specialist care providers — helping founders build scalable operations and position for growth or exit.

  • Commissioning strategy and local authority relationships
  • CQC positioning and inspection readiness
  • Operational scalability and workforce model
  • Growth strategy — organic and acquisitive
  • Exit preparation and buyer identification
