The buy-box.
EBITDA-led, multi-vertical, operator-rewarded. Distressed and turnaround situations are welcome where operating discipline is the cure. Brokers and owners thinking of selling: this page tells you quickly whether we're a fit.
- 01
EBITDA
$750k+ firm
Hard floor. Below this, the business cannot support reinvestment in equipment, people, and systems while servicing acquisition financing. No exceptions.
- 02
Revenue
$3M+ typical
$3M is the typical floor, but revenue is EBITDA-led. A smaller business with strong margins and $750k+ EBITDA can absolutely fit. We care about earnings power, not size for its own sake.
- 03
Geography
Continental United States
Where we can operate directly and assemble the right local network of operators, attorneys, and capital partners. Firm boundary.
- 04
Industries
Five verticals
Non-emergency medical transportation. Healthcare services. Residential and commercial services with a commercial weighting. Multi-unit independent restaurants (5+ locations). Managed service providers (MSPs) with recurring revenue and a substantial customer base.
- 05
Operator situation
GM or President in place
Strong preference for businesses where a general manager, president, or operating leader is already running day-to-day. We back that operator and free up capital for the founder's exit, we don't replace them with ourselves.
- 06
Hold horizon
Ten years
Long enough that operating decisions, retention, equipment, systems, customer experience, actually compound before any exit pressure intrudes.
- 07
Owner situation
Retirement, partial exit, distressed, or turnaround
We engage where the seller wants a thoughtful steward, including retirement, partial exits, owner-operator transitions, and where operational discipline is the cure: distressed sales, turnarounds, and asset-only transactions.
