My name is Alex Camacho. I am looking to buy and operate one established essential services business in Australia for the long term. Not a portfolio. Not a flip. One business that I will run full-time as owner-operator.
This page explains who I am, why I am doing this, and what it means for the owner, the team, and the customers of the business I acquire.
I founded and ran Amvia, a 15-person commercial cleaning business in Brisbane. I managed the scheduling, the client relationships, the payroll, and all the moving parts that come with running a people-heavy service operation. I know what it feels like to be responsible for a team, to worry about keeping customers happy, and to build something from the ground up.
I then spent a decade in financial services working with business owners and families on growth, risk, and long-term planning. Most recently, I was an equity partner in a financial advisory practice, where I helped build the business systems and growth strategy before stepping away in late 2025 to focus on ALX full-time.
I left that partnership because I wanted to own and operate a business directly again. After years of advising others, I decided it was time to back myself. ALX is the result.
I am focused on established B2B services businesses where the work is essential and ongoing. The kind of business where customers rely on you to stay compliant, stay safe, or keep their operations running. Commercial cleaning, pest control, waste services, HVAC maintenance, fire protection, plumbing, electrical testing, and similar trades where the revenue is recurring, the team is stable, and the work does not stop.
I am typically looking for businesses with A$2M+ in operating profit.
If you are thinking about stepping back from your business, for many owners the biggest questions go beyond price. What happens to the people who have worked for you for 10 or 15 years. What happens to the clients who trust you. What happens to the business you built from scratch.
I take those questions seriously because I have been on your side of them. When I sold my cleaning business, I cared about who was taking over and what would happen to the people I had hired and trained. That shapes how I approach this.
My goal is to keep the team in place, maintain the service quality, and run the business for the long term. I am not looking to buy a business and start changing it for the sake of it. The priority is continuity. Technical and licensed work stays with the qualified people. I bring commercial leadership, financial management, and the commitment to be there full-time.
Everything starts with a confidential conversation. No paperwork, no commitment, no obligation. If we both think there is something worth exploring, the next step is a mutual confidentiality agreement before any business information is shared. From there, I move at whatever pace works for you.
If the timing is not right, that is completely fine. I am happy to stay in touch and talk again when it makes sense for you.
I am based in Sydney and looking across Australia. If you want to talk, I am available by phone or email.
