You’ve built a legacy
Place it in good hands
We depend on your business’s long-term success. Let’s be clear - we are not brokers or bankers who get a success fee and then move on. We are investors and co-owners, and all of our potential earnings come from the future profits of the business. We need to not only ensure that the acquisition happens, but that the business continues to thrive. Our success depends on it - it’s as simple as that.
That permeates everything we do, from how we choose our operating partners and how we support them and value them, to how we approach the closing process.
We have the right operators for your business. We thoroughly vet our operating partners to ensure that that we can entrust them with the success of our business - literally. They are typically highly experienced executives with at least 15-20 years of professional experience who have held senior or C-suite roles in companies larger than the ones we acquire.
But we also make sure that the business is the right fit for them. That means not only a match for their professional skills and experience, but also for their life. We want to ensure there is no friction or time limit on how long they will own the business and that they - and their family - will be happy.
We have deal-making experience. We are not “searchers” or potential buyers who have never acquired a business before. It’s not our first rodeo. We know how to run a close process, and have a network of partners including lawyers, accountants, finance brokers and investors that we’ve worked with before. We can get to work with them quickly - and stay in sync.
Why sell to us
Beyond being a fit for our operating partners, 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 3-5x
We are agnostic to industry, although we have most expertise in services, industrials, healthcare, and technology.
We are open to management teams who wish to stay in place, including enabling management or employee buy-outs.
