We represent buyers. We will never compete with you for a listing.
Buy-side only, by design. What we bring to your process is a qualified buyer with capital, an underwrite that moves in days, and no SBA dependency waiting to collapse at week ten.
You already know the failure mode
A buyer signs an LOI, takes ninety days of your seller's exclusivity, and then discovers he cannot fund it. Or his lender declines in week ten. Or he never had the equity in the first place and was hoping the seller would finance most of it. Your seller is now three months older, the business has drifted, and you are re-marketing a deal that looks shopped.
Our buyers get screened before we take them on: proof of liquidity, a live target or a defined buy box, decision authority, and whether they can actually be advised. We turn away tire-kickers, which is the only real service we can offer you.
A counterparty that behaves like one.
Speed you can quote to a seller
Initial screen in 48 hours. LOI within 72 hours of a decision. Fifteen to twenty days of diligence when the data room is real. We have no committee to wait on.
No SBA dependency
We structure on conventional and private credit, seller notes and equity. Since October 1 2026 that matters more than it used to — SBA-financed deals at or above $3M now carry a mandatory independent quality-of-earnings requirement, and buyers are dying at that gate.
A straight answer, early
If the deal does not clear our underwrite we tell you in days, with the reason, instead of grinding your seller for three weeks and walking. You get your exclusivity back fast.
We take the messy ones
Distressed, stranded processes, deals whose buyer just fell through, companies with a hair on them. We run a turnaround practice too, which means we can price a business other buyers will not touch.
Our box, so you do not waste a call.
- Sectors: trucking and logistics, construction, excavation, oil & gas services, manufacturing, specialty trades
- Size: $5MM–$50MM+ enterprise value, concentrated $3M–$15M
- Geography: United States
- Especially: deals whose SBA buyer just died at the re-test, retirement and succession sales, and distressed situations
- Not for us: service businesses with no assets, anything requiring a license we cannot transfer, and sell-side mandates
Straight answers.
Do you compete with us on sell-side?
No. We represent buyers only. We do not take sell-side mandates, we do not list businesses, and we are not going to approach your seller behind you. That is the whole basis of the relationship.
What makes your buyers different?
They have been screened before they engage us — proof of liquidity, a real live target or a defined box, decision authority and sector fit. We turn away buyers who are browsing. And we structure without SBA, so an SBA decline never kills the deal at week ten.
How fast can you respond to a CIM?
An initial screen inside 48 hours, an LOI within 72 hours of a decision to proceed, and 15–20 days of diligence when the data room is real. Speed is the whole reason to send us a file.
Will you low-ball my seller?
We bid to our underwrite and we explain it. Sometimes that is below the ask, and we will say why in writing rather than grinding you over three weeks. Where the price is right we move fast and we do not re-trade at the eleventh hour unless diligence turns up something material.
What deals should I send you?
Asset-heavy blue-collar companies, $5MM–$50MM+ enterprise value, US. Trucking, construction, excavation, oil & gas services, manufacturing, specialty trades. Including the messy ones — a deal whose SBA buyer just died is exactly our situation.
Send us a CIM and see how fast you get a real answer.
48 hours to a screen. If it is not for us you will know immediately and you will know why.
