Grow, Evolve, Realise.
3-minute diagnostic · Instant insight
Trusted by founders, leadership teams and acquirers
Every founder reaches a point where the playbook stops working.
Vivero works with founders at the point where what's worked stops working, navigating what comes next, whether that's writing a new chapter or deciding it's time to close this one. The advice is grounded, because we've been in the chair.
Mid-market consulting and tech services firms, shareholder-led.
We do our best work with leaders who are personally invested in the outcome. Most of our engagements share the same DNA, and that's where the patterns we've built become an unfair advantage.
01
UK mid-market
£5m to £30m revenue, with traction and substance. Past the start-up scrappiness, not yet the corporate plateau. The window where the right moves create disproportionate equity value.
02
Consulting & tech services
Management consulting with or without a tech lens, technical consulting (data, digital transformation, automation), and the tech-enabled services firms that sit alongside them. The space we operate in, exclusively.
03
Shareholder-led
CEOs, founder-MDs and shareholder-Directors who still own a meaningful stake and care about the outcome: for themselves, their people, and the business they've built.
04
Pre-transaction or post-investment
Preparing for first institutional capital, integrating a platform investment, building toward exit, or recently acquired and chasing the value-creation plan.

What the right moves do to a valuation.
Three engagements, one partner.
Specifics, not phases. Where you are determines where we start, and most firms don't need the whole set at once.
Value creation
Grow
The operator work: commercial discipline, delivery economics, second-line leadership, the systems that let a £5m business run at £15m without the wheels coming off.
- Pricing, utilisation, bench
- Pipeline and commercial engine
- Leadership depth past the founder
How we grow the business
Value creation
Evolve
The levers that lift the multiple: recurring revenue mix, repeatable IP, sharper category positioning, the kind of portfolio acquirers pay a premium to buy.
- Revenue-mix reshape
- Productised / repeatable offers
- Category narrative for buyers
How we evolve it
Execution
Realise
Sell-side, growth-capital or recap. We run the process with an operator's instinct on both sides of the table, so the deal that closes is the deal the business actually deserved.
- Sell-side M&A mandate
- Growth-capital or recap raises
- Acquirer-side diligence and handling
