Acquiring & Investing in Businesses

I work directly with founders, owners, and brokers — not through funds or syndicates. Decisions are made by me, with no committee in the way. That means a real answer in days, not months, and a deal structured around the seller — not the spreadsheet.

TWO PATHS IN

BUY IT OR BACK IT

Same diligence, different posture. I'll tell you within the first conversation which path makes sense for your business — and why.

PATH 01

ACQUISITION + OPERATION

I acquire the business and take an active operational role, bringing hands-on leadership to drive growth and build systems.

PATH 02

INVESTMENT + PARTNERSHIP

I invest capital and provide strategic support while the existing operator continues to lead day-to-day operations.

WHAT I LOOK FOR

THREE NON-NEGOTIABLES

I pass on most deals — not because they're bad, but because they're not a fit. The three filters below are the ones I won't bend on. Everything else (industry, geography, structure) is flexible.

STRONG REVENUE BASE

Proven business model with established revenue streams and customer relationships.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

Clear paths to expansion through better systems, marketing, or operational improvements.

CAPABLE TEAMS

Existing team with potential to scale, or openness to building the right talent.

DEAL PROCESS

FROM FIRST CALL
TO CLOSE

Direct, clear, and on a timeline that respects your business. No drawn-out auctions, no committee approvals, no surprise repricing.

STEP 1 / WEEK 1

INTRO CALL

30 minutes. Shape of the business, your goals, fit. Honest answer before we hang up.

STEP 2 / WEEK 2-3

LIGHT DILIGENCE

Financials, concentration, team. NDA upfront. No data-room theater.

STEP 3 / WEEK 4

LOI / TERM SHEET

Real numbers, real structure. Clean offer — no surprises.

STEP 4 / WEEK 6-10

CLOSE & TRANSITION

Confirmatory diligence, stable transition. Day one priority: don't break it.

LET'S TALK

HAVE A BUSINESS?

Founders, owners, and brokers — send the basics. I read every intro myself, and I'll come back with a real answer in days.

  • One-page teaser is plenty to start
  • NDA on request, before any financials
  • Direct conversations — no intermediaries on my side
