We source founder-owned service businesses in the lower middle market, prepared for institutional capital and ready for a serious conversation.
We build long-term relationships with business owners before they're ready to sell. When they are ready, they come to us first — not a marketplace. That means you see opportunities others don't.
Every business we represent has been assessed for financial health, management depth, customer concentration, and seller readiness. We don't send you opportunities that aren't serious.
We prepare sellers for institutional scrutiny before we approach you. Organized financials, disclosed risks, and a seller who knows what to expect. Less re-trading. Smoother diligence.
Our network is concentrated in the service industries where founder-owned businesses are most common and institutional consolidation is actively underway.
Tell us your sector focus, EBITDA range, geographic preferences, and acquisition strategy. We'll align our sourcing to your mandate.
When a business matches your criteria, we'll reach out with a blind summary. No noise, no bulk emails — targeted introductions to sellers who are serious and prepared.
We facilitate information flow and seller communication through LOI, diligence, and closing. Our job is to keep the deal on track and protect both sides.
"The strong, long-standing relationships we've built with business owners — and our ability to earn their trust — open the door to opportunities that never reach the open market."
