Approach

Facilitating dreams for sellers seeking freedom.

How do you define success? When owners of Central Ohio companies experience life-changing events or are ready to exit, they need to determine how their businesses and employees will continue to thrive. Selling, liquidating, or closing a business requires careful preparation, which is crucial for transitioning your stakeholders (employees, customers, and vendors) while seeking to achieve personal freedom.

The steps to sell your business are not taught or easy to understand. Unrealistic expectations and the lack of information make securing commitments time-consuming and frustrating. Market conditions and interest rates impact valuations, as does seller preparation.

Some business buyers cut the “fat” from the businesses they purchase. The new owners perform financial maneuvers to realize cost savings through layoffs, deferring repairs and maintenance, and extending days payable to vendors. Others close facilities and sell off the assets, without regard to stakeholders and legacies.

Path Forward

We are different and have an easier process to keep you on the pathway to freedom. Our buy-grow-keep strategy entails making investments to acquire established businesses identified as having significant potential for growth.

The main drivers of value include

  • commitment to integrity and fairness
  • the culture to retain a quality workforce
  • operational improvements with technology
  • cost and cash management for optimization and performance
  • expansion through acquisition
  • limited leverage via equity/debt financing structures
  • employee ownership program

During the horizontal and vertical integration of multiple acquisitions, the business is anticipated to benefit from economies of scale and increased value due to its stronger position within the market and cost synergies. This process of sustained growth compounds shareholder value over time.

Acquisition Focus

Your employees will grow with us as we unite and scale small businesses through acquisition. Our private company acquisition interest is narrowly focused on Central Ohio businesses founded before 2015 that generate annual revenues of $1M to $5M.

Our buy-grow-keep strategy (purchase and grow) in these twelve counties involves retaining jobs in Central Ohio, specifically in Franklin, Delaware, Union, Madison, Fayette, Ross, Pickaway, Fairfield, Licking, Knox, Morrow, and Marion counties.

Franchises and minor stakes are not a focal point for the company. Our interest is limited to these industries.

  • Construction and Building Trades
    • building, remodeling, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, paving, hauling, trenching, excavation, hardscapes, etc.
  •  Communications and Media (secondary)
  • Business Services (secondary)
