Strong businesses with good bones.

Solid, established businesses with good teams and owners ready to step back. We're based in Western New York, and we look across the East Coast, Midwest, Sun Belt. If we can get there in under four hours by plane, we're interested.

Is there a fit here?

This isn't a checklist you need to score perfectly on. It's a general picture of what we're looking for and what we're not. If several of the green items feel familiar, it's worth a conversation.

You might be a good fit if

Your business has a strong reputation in the community.

You've been operating for 5 or more years.

You're thinking about retiring or stepping back from day-to-day work.

You have a management and ops team in place that can keep running things after a sale.

The business isn't entirely dependent on you personally.

You have a reasonably diversified customer base.

Your SDE or EBITDA is at least $750K.

Probably not a fit if

Franchises

We buy independently owned businesses. Franchise locations are a different situation and not one we're pursuing.

One-person businesses

If the business is entirely dependent on one person with no team in place, it's not a fit for us right now.

Turnarounds

We want a business that's already working. Distressed situations that need rescuing are outside our scope.

Outside our reach

We look across the East Coast, Midwest, Sun Belt. If it's more than a four-hour flight from Buffalo, it's probably outside our range.

Where we focus.

These are the categories we know best and actively look in. If your business doesn't fit neatly into one of them, reach out anyway. The right business is the right business.
