Transition for you.
Security for your legacy.
You’re ready to move on, but you want to protect everything you’ve worked to build. We’re here to help.
Our Difference
We aren’t a big competitor and we aren’t a private equity fund. We’re a pair of entrepreneurs looking to take the reigns from the owner of a family business. Our approach is tailored to you.
Focus
We are looking to buy and operate only one business, so 100% of our time, energy, and resources will be dedicated to your company and your legacy.
Growth
We're not in the business of cutting headcount or cutting costs--we want to partner with your current team to drive sustainable growth.
Flexibility
Instead of rigid terms designed to maximize returns and protect shareholders, our terms are customizable to meet your needs as a seller.
Your Difference
If these stats sound like your business, we could make good partners
Our Team
We have a passion for helping small business owners figure out “what’s next?” and the energy to build on their legacies once they do.
Jalen Ross, Co-Founder
As a kid, my idea of the ideal job was my uncle's window factory, where he got to bring his dogs. I strayed from that for a while, consulting for some of the world's largest firms on growth, integrating acquisitions, and efficiency...and I'm ready to get back to small business.
Behind us are the experience and knowledge of our diverse group of experienced CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors.
