A partner for post-acquisition growth
An acquired SME is not a start-up and not a corporation: it is a business that already works, with a team, a reputation and a way of doing things built over years.
Growing it without breaking what already works takes a specific kind of experience, and a partner who has done it before. Search Fund Growth is the commercial and marketing partner for that moment, with fifteen years of building and running marketing functions across corporate, scale-up and SME environments, in industries ranging from consumer goods and services to automotive and industrial sectors, working directly across European markets in English, French, German and Spanish.
The work begins with understanding the business as it is, then builds the positioning, the commercial structure and the growth engine it needs for the years ahead.
An external CMO, integrated into the management team
Most of our work begins after closing. A new CEO inherits a business with strong products and stable operations, and the task is to build the commercial engine that turns it into growth.
Not a supplier briefed from the outside, and not another agency layer. We embed into the leadership team, learn how the business actually works, set the commercial priorities and lead the implementation. We build commercial capability that belongs to the business long after our work is done.
Integration is critical, and changes must not feel imposed. We listen before we act, align with the people who know the business, and build ownership rather than dependency.
Two senior marketers, one integrated team
We lead the work directly, supported by an established network of specialists across Europe.
