The first four

Selling is personal. It should be.

You have heard the stories: layoffs, broken promises, new owners who never understood the business. These are the questions owners ask us first, and our answers.

What happens to my employees?

They stay, and they grow. We buy businesses for the people who run them. Where AI changes the work, we retrain and redeploy first, and we pay management on results, never on headcount cuts.

Will they change everything I built?

We help strengthen how the business runs, not what it stands for. Your customers chose you for a reason. We find out what it is, protect it, and add the systems a larger company needs.

What happens to me?

That is your call. Stay two years in a role you choose, or hand over the keys in ninety days. If you want to step back sooner, we help you choose and support the next leader, often someone already on your team.

Will I get a fair deal?

You will understand every number. We show you how we value the business, line by line, and we do not reopen the price at the closing table over things we already knew.

More questions

The rest of what owners ask us.

What kinds of businesses do you buy?

Established U.S. businesses with $3M to $10M of EBITDA, a skilled team, and customers who buy an outcome: business, technical, and government services; industrial services; distribution; and light manufacturing. We buy majority or full control, usually when an owner is planning retirement, a family succession, or a partner buyout.

What happens to my employees after the sale?

We buy businesses for the people who run them. We keep the team, invest in their development, and help strong performers grow into leadership roles. Where AI changes the work, we retrain and redeploy first, and we pay management on company results, never on headcount reductions.

How long do I need to stay?

That is your decision. Some owners stay two years or more in a role they choose; others hand over in ninety days. If you want to step back sooner, we help you choose and support the next leader, often someone already on your team.

How do you value my business?

We walk you through our valuation line by line: historical performance, customer relationships, the team, and the quality of revenue. We explain every adjustment. We do not reopen the price at closing over things we already knew when we signed the letter of intent.

Can I keep a stake in the business?

Yes. Many owners roll part of their equity into the new company and share in the growth that follows.

Does using AI mean layoffs?

No. We use AI to take repetitive work off your team: paperwork, scheduling, quoting, and reporting. Growth absorbs the capacity it frees. Retraining and redeployment come first, and management incentives are tied to results, not headcount.

Is this conversation confidential?

Completely. We sign an NDA before any detailed discussion and never contact your employees, customers, or vendors without your permission.
