Inquiries
How Can We Help?
Most conversations start for one of three reasons.
- You Built Something Valuable
You’ve spent years building a business and you’re starting to think about what’s next: a partner, a transition, or a new chapter. You want someone who’ll respect what you’ve created and help you write the next part of the story.
Start a Conversation- You’re Representing a Client
You’re an investment banker, M&A advisor, or broker working with a business that fits our profile. You need a buyer who moves with urgency, communicates clearly, and treats your client with respect. That’s us.
Send Us a Deal- You Know Someone We Should Meet
You’re a lawyer, accountant, wealth advisor, or industry contact who works with founders thinking about their options. If you know a business that could benefit from a lasting home, we’d value the introduction.

Answers
Common Questions
- I’m not sure I’m ready to sell. Is it too early to talk?
- Not at all. Some of our best conversations happen two or three years before a transaction. There’s no timeline pressure and no obligation. We’re here as a resource whenever you’re ready.
- I’m an intermediary with a deal. How should I reach out?
- Use the form on this page, call either office, or contact a partner directly on LinkedIn. We respond to CIMs within five business days, pass quickly on bad fits, and protect intermediary economics on every deal.
- Will this conversation be confidential?
- Without exception. We do not disclose that a conversation has taken place, share any materials you provide, or contact anyone at your company without your written permission. Discretion is how we operate.
- What size and type of businesses do you look for?
- We focus on profitable, founder-led businesses with $2M–$8M in EBITDA across niche manufacturing, specialty chemicals, and industrial and essential B2B services. Primarily U.S.-based, with particular depth in the Midwest and Eastern United States.
