ABOUT US
We've helped acquire hundreds of businesses over nearly 20 years in a multitude of industries, with the majority of our transactions in the Blue-Collar Business Industry. Some fun facts; Our shortest Acquisition was 48 hours and done in cash. Our longest Acquisition was 8 months and was a roll up that consisted of multiple locations with a seller out of the country. Our average Acquistion is 100 days. The majority of our focus is on Mid-Market Acquistions.
We are extremely passionate about M & A.
What does that mean for you? It means we wake up every day - excited to help W2 Employees escape their jobs; experienced entrepreneurs buy their first business; and private investors add "Bolt on Businesses" or do "Roll Ups" by buying multiple businesses at one time. With 1.2 Million Businesses hitting the market per day, boomers retiring and buyers needing help figuring out the fundamentals of evaluating, determining multiples and doing due diligence we're happy to be there every step of the way - even if you've already found a business to buy. From the thought of acquisition to the transition it's what we are talented, skilled, educated and experienced in.
Implementing State of the Art Tech, combined with decades of hands-on behind the business experience, doing full evaluations, determining multiples and negotiating the details, we are the leader in helping people just like yourself buy businesses. When it comes to your time, family, future and bottom line we prioritize that which matters most to YOU. Finding what you want in less than 9 months.
