what we do
You’ve built something of value…we help optimize your exit
You probably have private equity chasing you, or maybe bankers looking for good deals in your industry. Do you want to exit completely? Or, do you want to de-risk and keep a few chips on the table? We want to be part of your exit and make you part of ours. We do this in three ways:
-We acquire companies when an owner would like to exit.
-We acquire control and retain the owner as part of the team, infuse capital and professionals with experience to scale the company for a greater exit.
-We connect business owners with tools, information and resources, including referring to others like us when the deal isn’t in our sweet-spot.
The starting point
The first thing we offer is a free evaluation call with one of our principals. No need to fill out a complicated questionnaire or provide detailed financials. We’d like to get an idea of where you’re at, and get your story. From there, we can offer a few options of where you might go next.
