LINK BUSINESS MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT / MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
As a business turnaround specialist, ethical investor and business buyer, I’m actively looking for long established companies within B2C and B2B to acquire and help grow. I focus mostly on well established, profitable businesses with revenues from £1 million to £10 million a year, and a healthy EBITDA. That said, I also have an interest in distressed businesses, where I would look to turn it around and restore the company back to normal, saving the employees and keeping the legacy going.
If you're a business owner who wants to sell because of retirement, distress or simply just wants out, then please contact me for a private talk. I promise you three things:
1) I will be a safe pair of hands to carry the business forward
2) I will protect the legacy
3) I will protect the workforce
B2C businesses I'm interested in are:
Automotive industry and retail
Hospitality
Real Estate
B2B industries, the interests are traditionally within:
Distribution
Food & Beverage
Manufacturing
Transportation
Warehousing
Wholesale
I am Lars Pederson, the Principal Consultant at Link Business Management Consulting / Mergers & Acquisitions. I am an innovative and experienced business management consultant, productivity and turnaround specialist, with close to four decades in business. I have a wealth of experience working with large corporations to SMEs in UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
I have previously presented and delivered to investors in Monaco and UK, a self storage project with a full business plan, including full financial business plan, market research, P&L, Balance Sheet and cash flow assessment. It was for a first stage business capital investment of £3 million, with total investment in the region of £40-45 million.
Because of my background and proven track record of implementing business solutions and helping businesses get back on track, my transfer into business buying has natural synergy.
I work closely with the seller in the handover period to understand the unique challenges and goals, and develop strategies to achieve ongoing success. I’m passionate about helping businesses reach their full potential, and take pride in the success of it.
My expertise comes from within a broad sector like onshore, production, manufacturing, retail, hospitality & catering, FMCG and Real Estate. This breath of experience allows me to provide unique and tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of each business and carry it forward.
Other projects I have done:
Faltec Folding Doors (Denmark). Faltec was later bought by the Crawford Group.
Samfood, a cutting and processing of meat production (Sweden).
Nokia HQ (Finland),
CO-OP/CRS (Yorkshire/Humberside - UK),
Aker Engineering On/Offshore (Norway),

In addition to my experience and expertise, I’m multi-lingual, fluent in Danish, English, Swedish, Norwegian and German. This allows me to effectively communicate with businesses from most parts of the world, and provides a unique advantage in the global market.
