Our Approach
Cooperation, Not Confrontation
Our goal is to work with you, the owners/founders in a way that makes sense for all involved. We are not ruthless sharks looking to get ourselves the best deal at all costs. We seek deals that fall within the "zone of fairness." Our company only pursues deals that leave everyone at the table satisfied that they are being treated equitably. We make sure you are receiving a fair price for what you've built through your hard work.
Our Focus
Building on What Works
We seek to keep in place the processes and personnel which have made your company successful, while unlocking the full potential of your business through modernization of methods such as marketing and outreach. We work with your existing team to allow them to do what they do best, as they know your company better than anyone. Having a strong management structure in place supporting your workforce is what we look for in a potential acquisition, and we do all we can to keep those people in their roles.
Quick Closing of Win-Win Deals
We live in the "zone of fairness" where you will be treated with respect and professionalism. We won't waste your time with low-ball offers. We do whatever is necessary to get win-win deals closed in a timely manner that won't overly disrupt your business or your life.
Investment Criteria

We work with companies in any industry, but focus on construction, manufacturing, and web-based businesses. We have a preference for contracted and recurring revenue, businesses with significant hard assets, and those with an existing management infrastructure.
Owner Involvement
We prefer to work with owners and operators who know the business well and are willing to commit to training new owners / operators over a transition period.
Founder / Operator Run
We work best with companies that are family or single-owner operated. We work with you to find a long-term solution to developing the business you have built.
