Acquisition & Stewardship

Private Businesses

We provide a permanent home for family-owned businesses, preserving the legacy, the name, and the people that built them.

Our promise to founders

Selling a life's work is perhaps the most difficult decision a founder will ever make. The fear is not just financial, it is about what happens next. Will the employees be safe? Will the culture survive? Unlike private equity firms that operate on a five-year clock, we have no mandate to sell. We buy to hold. We step into your shoes to protect what you have built, providing the capital and energy to ensure your business thrives for the next generation.

Investment Criteria

Honoring the Succession

We are the solution for the founder who cares about their legacy. We offer a respectful transition that ensures the business continues to serve its community.

Protecting Your People

We understand that your staff are often like family. We look for businesses with loyal teams, and we commit to maintaining the culture that keeps them there.

Proven Durability

We invest in companies with a long history of profitability. We are not turnaround specialists, we are stewards of healthy businesses.

Resilience to Change

We prefer businesses that sell things people will always need. We avoid industries that are easily disrupted by rapid technological change or automation.

What we look for

We are not searching for the next big disruption. We value the businesses that quietly keep the economy moving. We look for unglamorous, essential, and profitable companies that have stood the test of time.

Essential B2B Services

Route-based businesses such as waste management, facility maintenance, and logistics. These are companies where density, reliability, and reputation create a natural defense against competition.

Niche Manufacturing

Specialized manufacturers making mission-critical components. We like businesses where quality is non-negotiable and the cost of switching suppliers is too high to risk.

Value-Added Distribution

Distributors that are more than just middlemen. We look for companies that provide technical advice, assembly, or inventory management that makes them indispensable to their customers.

The examples above are illustrative—not exhaustive. We work across a broad range of sectors and consider opportunities wherever we can create enduring value.
