What we look for

We keep our criteria plain so you can tell quickly whether a conversation makes sense. If something is close, send it anyway.

Small businesses

  • Simple, understandable businesses with steady customers.
  • A history of making money, not just a plan to.
  • Owners who care what happens after they step back.
  • A full purchase, a majority stake, or a minority partnership.

Commercial real estate

  • Practical, useful properties with clear, lasting demand.
  • Sound buildings with reasonable upkeep.
  • Tenants and uses that make sense for the long run.
  • Outright purchases or partnerships with good operators.

Probably not a fit

  • Quick flips or anything built around a short holding period.
  • Businesses or properties we cannot understand in a short conversation.
  • Hype, trends, and things that sound too good to be true.

How it works

Send a short note

A few lines about the business or property, where it is, and what you have in mind.

A quick first look

We read it and reply if it looks like a fit. No long forms, no runaround.

Talk it through

If it makes sense for both sides, we set up a call and go from there, at a sensible pace.
