We Don't Advise From the Sidelines. We're On the Pitch.
Fishwings Investments is a group of business investors and operators actively buying, building and scaling companies across the UK, US and UAE. We're time investors as much as capital investors — if you want help from people living the same challenges you are, a few steps ahead, you've found us.
We Are Time Investors as Much as Capital Investors.
Money is the easy part. What you actually get is active operator involvement — people in the business, alongside you, doing the work.
Hands-on leadership
Operational leadership inside the business — not passive shareholding from a distance.
Active scaling
We roll our sleeves up to grow the companies we back: revenue, margin and reach.
Multi-functional expertise
Operations, finance, marketing, compliance and deals — deployed across every acquisition.
Direction + execution
Strategic direction, execution support and capability injection, all from the same team.
Consultants Sell Time. We Build Businesses.
Most advisory firms will hand you a beautiful deck and a bigger invoice. We won't. We're operators with skin in the game — running companies, closing acquisitions, entering new markets and growing revenue and bottom-line profit in our own portfolio right now.
That means when we work with you, the advice isn't theoretical. It's what we did last month. It's the mistake we made last year so you don't have to. It's the playbook that's currently working, not the one that used to.
Living It Now
We're steps ahead because we're walking the same road. US expansion, acquisitions, cross-border trade — it's our day job, not our slideware.
Results or Nothing
Revenue, net profit, deals closed. That's the scoreboard. Everything else is hot air, and we don't deal in hot air.
Creative on Terms
Fees, equity, hybrid structures, profit-share arrangements. We're flexible on how we work together because we think like investors, not timesheet-fillers.
What We Do
Seven ways we put capital, operators and momentum behind a business — usually more than one at a time.
Organic Growth
Strategy that turns into action: revenue growth, margin expansion and operational grip.
Grow →Acquisitions
Buy-and-build done properly — origination to integration, from people who've completed deals recently.
Acquire →Market Entry
UK into the US, US into the UK, and on into the UAE. We're on the ground in all three and we'll help you set up the right structures and actually land.
Go Global →Cross-Border Ops
UK, US and UAE operations plus import/export from the UK to the rest of the world.
Cross-Border →FP&A & Planning
Numbers that tell you the truth and plans a bank or investor will actually back.
Numbers →Strategic Marketing
Chartered Marketer-led planning and execution. Positioning, pipeline, growth.
Marketing →Not sure which one you need?
Most owners arrive with a problem, not a service. Tell us the problem.

Built for Owners Who Want to Move
You run a business doing solid revenue and you're staring at a fork in the road: grow organically, buy a competitor, crack a new market, or get the house in order for all three. You don't want a 90-page strategy document. You want someone who's done it, sat next to you, helping you do it.
That's the job. That's the whole job.
