- Clear, simple operations that we can learn and improve
- Repeat or recurring revenue is a plus
Common questions
Before you reach out.
Is the first conversation confidential?
Yes. Early conversations are private and carry no obligation on either side.
Will the business keep its name and its team?
That is our intent. We buy to operate for the long term, and we plan every transition around keeping the people and reputation that made the business work.
What if my business is outside these ranges?
Reach out anyway. We're happy to talk, and these criteria can flex for the right business.
How involved would I need to stay after a sale?
That's flexible and depends on what you want. Some owners prefer a clean handoff, others stay on for a defined transition period.
