Singapore's Oneteam Secures M&A Financing from GB Helios' Polaris, Completes Second SME Acquisition in Facilities Sector

Singapore-headquartered Oneteam, an SME acquisition platform specializing in succession solutions, has secured a dedicated M&A financing facility from Polaris, the alternative financing arm of GB Helios.

This financing directly supported Oneteam's second acquisition, completed in September 2025, targeting profitable businesses in the facilities and property management ecosystem.

Empowering SME Succession in Underserved Segments

The facility focuses on SMEs with revenues below SGD 10 million ($7.92 million), addressing a critical gap in traditional M&A lending for smaller enterprises.

Over the past 12 months, Oneteam has executed two such acquisitions, with portfolio companies achieving impressive double-digit growth post-integration.

Oneteam's unique model transitions acquired SMEs to long-term stewardship through employee empowerment, permanent ownership, and operational enhancements, rather than short-term flips.

Strategic Synergies Driving Future SME Resilience

Beyond acquisitions, the partnership unlocks synergies in HR management, working capital support, operational financing, and equipment leasing to uplift Singapore's SME ecosystem.

Backed by lead seed investor Wavemaker Ventures, this collaboration highlights growing ecosystem support for sustainable SME growth amid challenges like talent shortages and fragmented industries.

Executives from Oneteam, Polaris, and Wavemaker Ventures emphasized the partnership's role in scaling prudent acquisitions while investing in people, systems, and value creation.

Looking ahead, Oneteam plans to accelerate expansion in essential sectors like the Built Environment, preserving legacies through digitalization, upskilling, and professional governance.

This development reinforces Singapore's position as a hub for innovative SME solutions, fostering stability across economic cycles.
