Overview
​The B.O.R.I.N.G. Investment Club is a private, invitation-only syndicate of professional and sophisticated investors who co-invest in resilient small and mid-sized businesses across the UK and Europe.
​The Club unites more than 50 investors and operators, representing over $7.5 billion in capital managed, advised, or exited, and more than 1,100 years of collective experience.
​Members share a single belief, that disciplined ownership of established, cash-flow-generating SMEs can quietly compound exceptional long-term value.​
We call these wonderfully boring companies.

Our Focus
“We focus on wonderfully boring companies: profitable firms with durable customer bases, steady cash flows, and clear operational improvement levers.”
We target enduring SMEs typically generating £1–5 million of EBITDA, acquired at 3–5× earnings.
These companies sit below the radar of institutional funds yet above the reach of most individual buyers, offering immediate cash yields, attractive entry multiples, and tangible upside through operational improvement.
How it Works
We work with institutional investors, operators, and strategic partners across the ETA and SME acquisition ecosystem to create lasting value.
Structured Co-Investment
Investments are organised on a deal-by-deal basis through independently administered Luxembourg SPVs, providing a transparent and regulated framework.
Each transaction follows a defined acquisition plan with clear governance and formal investor safeguards.
Discretionary Participation
Members review opportunities individually and decide whether to participate based on their own mandate and conviction.
Participation is voluntary and transaction-specific, allowing investors to retain full control over exposure, diversification, and capital deployment.
Alignment & Oversight
Archimax co-invests in every transaction, reinforcing alignment of interest with fellow investors.
Following completion, Archimax provides structured monitoring and transparent reporting, drawing on member expertise for governance and advisory support where appropriate.
​
Our Edge
We bridge the equity gap between entrepreneurial acquirers and institutional capital.
Flexible, Deal-by-Deal Co-Investments
​Through Archimax’s network of traditional search funds, self-funded searchers, ETA-incubated operators, independent sponsors, and HoldCo builders, the Club accesses a continuous pipeline of deal-ready SME acquisitions.
