What Alpro Capital does

Alpro Capital is a UK-based private investment firm that acquires and grows established small and medium-sized enterprises in the North East of England. Its stated acquisition criteria require SMEs with at least five years of trading history, EBITDA of £250k–£750k, recurring or repeat revenue where possible, a diversified customer base (no single customer over 20%), and an experienced management team not wholly dependent on the founder. The firm is led by Managing Director David Alprovich, who brings 16 years of SME investment experience and exposure to more than 50 SME transactions from his prior tenure at Middleton Enterprises.

The firm operates a single integrated service: sourcing SME succession opportunities, completing cash-backed acquisitions, and then investing to scale the businesses while preserving existing teams and brands. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, with a confidential-conversation positioning, email-led inbound enquiry ([email protected]), and the company website (alprocapital.co.uk) as the primary top-of-funnel marketing channel. It does not use intermediaries and targets owners planning exit or transition rather than distressed sellers.

Revenue is generated through the appreciation and eventual exit of acquired businesses rather than recurring product or service sales — i.e. private equity-style economics via one-off transactions funded with cash on the balance sheet, supported by capital and strategic guidance from parent/backer Middleton Enterprises. The current named portfolio includes Upholstery2u, Semble, One Gym, Oneutilitybill, D-line, and HBB Solutions. There is no public disclosure of acquisition multiples, fund size, deployed capital, fee economics, headcount, revenues, or exits, and no evidence of AI, proprietary technology platforms, or product tooling beyond standard corporate communication channels.
