For Intermediaries

We are two entrepreneurs looking to acquire and operate an enduringly profitable industrials and/or services business with $1-5M annual cash flow in the American East. We bring 20+ years of military and business experience, including significant M&A experience. We have committed capital and are eager to work with intermediaries to close a deal.

How we Work with Intermediaries

Miles and Michael have both worked in professional services, and we understand the important role intermediaries play in the SMB market. We believe it is important to establish trust at the start of the relationship, and we welcome conversations early in the process to build shared understanding. Below are answers to frequently asked questions to help us facilitate those conversations.

We intend to invest a significant portion of our personal cash reserves into a deal. We also have equity commitments from a close group of friends and family. In addition to equity, we have been pre-qualified from multiple lenders, and intend to utilize senior debt as part of any transaction. We are confident we can produce enough cash at close for any deal that meets our criteria. 

We are focused on industrials and services businesses. Industrials includes niche manufacturing, value-add distribution, trades (i.e. plumbing, HVAC, electric, etc.), and more. B2B services includes healthcare services, maintenance services, property management, security services, and more. If you're not sure if your business fits our industry criteria, reach out to us! We are open to exploring industries outside of the above. 

We are focused on the "American East", which we consider all states East of the Mississippi river. 

Due to the nature of our capital, we can be flexible on deal structure. Typical sources include some combination of equity, senior bank debt, and seller financing. We are open to sellers rolling equity in a transaction as well. 

While we are currently focused on acquiring and operating one business, we are open to acquiring additional businesses in the future. To that end, we are interested in forming long term relationships with intermediaries we trust. In terms of intermediaries working with businesses we acquire, we recognize the importance of maintaining continuity, and value your knowledge of the business. We are always open to maintaining the business' existing service providers post ownership transition.
