For Business Owners

A transaction for all or part of your company is a landmark event for you and your employees. Having the right financial partner by your side can make a big difference not just to the eventual outcome but also how you get there.

We focus on founder or family-owned services companies

We understand the opportunities and challenges faced by services companies both in operations and in long-term strategy. Our team and resources are there to help you navigate these issues and set up your company for sustainable future growth.

Collaboration and partnership are our cornerstones

We like to work with owners and management teams where we have developed a high degree of mutual trust. We spend time with you to ensure that the entirety of your team will benefit from career progression and financial success when we grow together. We really like leaders with a common sense, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to business and aim to bring the same approach ourselves.

We do what we say

We are committed to transparency about how we will work with you to close the transaction, to grow the business with you and to eventually exit at terms that achieve our combined objectives. We will spend time early on to align on these critical questions and commit to doing what we agree to. Our past sellers are testament to this experience and will be glad to speak with you.

We provide creative liquidity solutions for a diversity of needs

We engage with business owners like you for wealth diversification, partner buyout, retirement, family succession, growth capital financing, and many other needs. Each situation has its own nuance, and we listen closely to your objectives then structure accordingly.

For Intermediaries

We proactively work with intermediaries and buy-side advisors, business brokers, accountants and lawyers. You are most welcome to engage with us on a fee-basis for potential transactions.

We have clear investment criteria and will promptly inform you of our interest. We value your time and want to build an ongoing relationship where possible.
