For Business Owners

You'll only sell once. Make sure it's to the right people.

You've spent years building something real. When it's time to step back, you deserve a buyer who will take care of your people, protect what you've created, and build on it — not tear it down.

Selling a business you built is personal.

You've probably had private equity firms reach out before. Maybe you've heard the stories — layoffs, broken promises, new owners who don't understand the business. We understand the hesitation.

We're operators first. Buyers second.

We don't just acquire businesses — we run them. When there's no successor in place, we step in ourselves. That changes how we think about everything.

We protect your people

We don't do layoffs to hit a number. We keep the team that made the business successful. Often, we help them grow into leadership roles they couldn't reach before.

We preserve the culture

Your customers chose you for a reason. Your employees stayed for a reason. We figure out what that is — and we protect it while building on it.

We're flexible on your timeline

Want to stay on for two years? Great. Ready to hand over the keys in 90 days? Also fine. We build a transition plan that works for you, not us.

No fund clock pressure

We don't have to sell your business in 5 years to make our investors happy. We can hold it forever if that's what's best. That means we make long-term decisions.

A process built around you.

No pressure, no games. Just honest conversations about what matters to you.

1

Initial Conversation

A confidential 30-minute call to learn about your business and what you're looking for. No pressure, no paperwork.

2

Get to Know Each Other

If there's a fit, we meet in person. You'll meet the people who would actually run your business. We'll learn what makes it special.

3

Fair Offer, Clear Terms

No games, no retrades. We present a fair valuation and explain exactly how we got there. You'll understand every number.

4

Smooth Transition

We work together on a transition plan that works for you, your employees, and your customers. Then we build on what you started.

We've been where you are.

We've led businesses like yours — sat in the CEO chair, built teams, made payroll, navigated the hard decisions. We know what it takes to run a company, and we know what it takes to hand one off well.

We build on what's there

We don't walk in looking for cuts. Your team is what makes the business work — we want to keep them, develop them, and help them grow into the next chapter.

We bring tools that accelerate growth

We've developed an operating toolkit — strategy, execution rhythm, financial discipline — that we install alongside your team. It's how we help good businesses become great ones.

We do what the situation requires

Every business is different. We might help you find your successor, step in ourselves to stabilize post-close, or work alongside your management team in an advisory role. We figure out what's right — then we do it.

We've done this before

This isn't theory for us. We've been through acquisitions, led post-close transitions, and built companies from the inside. We know what works, what doesn't, and how to set your business up for success.

Questions you might have

We focus on essential, non-discretionary service businesses — the kind of company that customers need whether the economy is up or down. Think water treatment, fire safety, environmental testing, industrial maintenance, specialty distribution. We look for $2-8M+ in EBITDA and strong, recurring revenue.
We don't acquire businesses looking for heads to cut. Your team is what makes the business work — we want to keep them, invest in them, and help them grow. We often help strong performers move into leadership roles they couldn't access before. Our goal is to build on what you've created, not strip it for parts.
That depends entirely on what you want. Some founders stay for 2+ years in an advisory role. Others are ready to retire in 90 days. We build a transition plan around your goals. Because we're operators who can step into leadership ourselves, we're not dependent on you staying forever.
We'll walk you through exactly how we think about valuation — no black boxes. We look at your historical performance, your customer relationships, your team, and the quality of your revenue. We'll explain every adjustment we make and why. You might not like every number, but you'll understand them all.
Completely. We sign NDAs before any detailed discussions. We won't reach out to your employees, customers, or vendors without your explicit permission. Many of our conversations never go beyond the initial call — and we never disclose who we've talked to.
