01
Established stability
At least ten to fifteen years of continuous operation with a consistent track record of profitability. We're not turnaround buyers — we want businesses that already work.
What we look for
A short list, honestly applied.
We'd rather buy one excellent business every two years than ten mediocre ones a quarter. Here is what makes a fit — and a quick way to see if you might be one.

02
Capable teams
Businesses with a competent team in place — on-site, remote, or hybrid — that carries the institutional knowledge and customer relationships. The people are the business, wherever they log in from.
03
Owner independence
Operations that can function under new stewardship, so the founder can step back on their timeline. No forced multi-year earnout, no dependency on a single person.
04
Honest cash flow
Real, recurring profitability between roughly $500K and $5M in annual cash earnings. No financial engineering. No projected growth required to justify the price.
05
Durable demand
Repeat customers, defensible position, and a reason to exist ten years from now. A DTC brand with a loyal base, a SaaS with sticky ARR, a distributor with entrenched accounts, or a services firm with contracts — all fit.
06
A clean reputation
Customers who return. Vendors paid on time. Reviews that reflect the actual standard of the work. A name that means something good to the people who deal with it.

Some of the best businesses don't look like the criteria on paper. A short conversation is always worth more than a checklist.
