Our Mission

Our mission is to acquire one profitable business from a motivated seller, capitalize on opportunities for growth, and operate it for the long term.

Fragmented and Growing Industry

Growth tailwinds are driven more by addressable market opportunity expansion than share grabs from competitors, and there are no single players with outsized market share

Straight Forward Business Model

A 5th grader can understand what your business does, and your most junior employee can explain it to them – just as easily as you can

Low Cyclicality and Seasonality

Profitable in every business climate; operations are reasonably consistent throughout the year

Predictable, Recurring Revenue

  • $10–$50 million of revenue

  • 80%+ of last year's customers are this year's customers

  • Strong preference for revenue that is contractually recurring

Healthy Margins

  • 20%+ pre-tax profit margin

  • You provide a mission-critical service and, as a result, have strong pricing power

Low Capital Requirements

  • Business does not need constant and costly infusion of capital to maintain baseline operations

  • Customer base can scale at a faster rate than the capital necessary to serve those new customers
