Singapore’s Oneteam completes its second acquisition after obtaining funding from GB Helios

Oneteam, a small and medium-sized business (SME) acquisition platform with its headquarters in Singapore that specializes in succession solutions, announced on Wednesday that it has obtained a special merger and acquisition (M&A) financing facility from Polaris, GB Helios’ alternative financing division. This financing was a component of the financing for Oneteam’s second acquisition, which was finished in September 2025.

Oneteam said in a statement that this makes it easier to scale long-term stewardship of successful local SMEs while speeding up growth in key industry segments.

For SME acquisitions with revenue under SGD 10 million ($7.92 million), a market that M&A lenders frequently ignore, the facility offers a special financing structure.

It strengthens Oneteam’s balance sheet to support long-term growth while giving it more flexibility in capital deployment.

With years of experience assisting local businesses throughout various economic cycles, GB Helios has a strong foundation in Singapore’s SME ecosystem.

Strong alignment in tackling SMEs’ issues, such as talent shortages, fragmented industry structures, succession gaps, and restricted access to responsible financing, is demonstrated by its partnership with Oneteam.

In addition to acquisition financing, the partnership creates wider strategic synergies that include working capital support, equipment leasing, operational financing, and human resource management solutions, all of which are intended to improve the professionalism and resilience of regional SMEs.

Oneteam has advanced its plan to create a full range of services for the Built Environment industry by completing two profitable acquisitions of companies in the facilities and property management ecosystem over the last 12 months.

These portfolio companies have experienced double-digit growth since the acquisitions, showcasing the Oneteam platform’s operational capabilities and unique model focused on employee empowerment and ownership.

By enabling the next generation of workers to take on leadership and ownership responsibilities, Oneteam purchases successful SMEs and moves them toward long-term stewardship.

The platform prioritizes long-term ownership, operational strengthening, and human development over short-term exits. This strategy is in line with GB Helios’ conviction that responsible financing can act as a catalyst for stability and long-term growth.

Wavemaker Ventures, Oneteam’s principal seed investor, has backed the collaboration by closely collaborating with both sides to align scalable growth frameworks and long-term vision.

The tripartite partnership’s combined goals are to protect local SME legacies, improve employment through upskilling and digitalization, professionalize operations and governance, and promote scalable, responsible growth.
