Ownership situation
Owner-operated businesses where the founder is ready to transition.
That might mean retirement. It might mean pursuing something new. It might mean simply wanting to step back after decades of carrying the weight.
I understand that decision. I've made it myself.
What I typically avoid
Turnarounds or distressed situations
Businesses dependent on a single customer or contract
Heavy technology or software (not my expertise)
Businesses requiring significant capital investment upfront
Franchise operations
Not sure if your business fits?
Reach out anyway. These criteria are guidelines, not hard rules.
If you're an owner thinking about selling, or an advisor with a client considering a transition, a 20-minute conversation costs nothing and clarifies a lot.
