Buying a business is just the beginning of the journey
We can help you make the most of it
There has never been a better time to sell your business. A new generation of entrepreneurs is eager and empowered to perpetuate your legacy.
We are not brokers or bankers - more bridge builders. We not only have an interest in you selling your business, but also ensuring that it passes into the right hands and that it continues to thrives. Our success depends on it - it’s as simple as that.
We’ll work with you to understand your aims in selling your business and make sure that we find the right custodians for it from among our Entrepreneurs-in-Residence. We’ll also ensure the acquisition process moves along smoothly, including the financing.
Pass on your legacy
Businesses we’re looking for
While our Entrepreneurs-in-Residence may have specific criteria, we typically look for the following:
Free cash flow of $1-5M
Consistent track record of profitability (no start-ups or turnarounds)
Located in the US or Canada
EBITDA multiple of 2-5x
We are agnostic to industry, although we have most expertise in technology, healthcare, industrials and consumer products/services. Additionally, we are open to the following, which often fall outside the criteria of search funds targeting businesses of this size:
Franchise portfolios
Management teams who wish to stay in place
Adding value to your business
We have experience identifying levers to add value - either for our own businesses or for private equity and/or publicly traded companies. We can apply that experience to help with your business.
Here are examples of levers we could help you to unlock:
Pricing
Labor scheduling
Demand forecasting
Vendor negotiations
SKU rationalization
Of course, we can also run a full diagnostic of your business to identify the levers.
