For brokers

If you represent or know a company with these characteristics, let's talk

I am looking to acquire an established company and be its hands-on, long-term owner. I am not a fund. You deal with me directly, from the first call to closing.

What I look for

The company
Established over many years, with people proud of their craft, loyal customers and healthy cash flow.
Type of business
Companies in the real economy that make, move or serve. For example: food production, manufacturing, distribution and logistics, and industrial and business services.
Size
EBITDA of $750,000 to $1.5 million. Larger companies when the fit is right.
Owner and team
An owner planning what comes next, whether stepping back soon or staying on for a while, and a team I can build on.
Region
Based in South Florida. I also look at companies in other parts of the United States.

How I work with you

I read what you send before I call. I sign confidentiality agreements the same day. I will tell you within a week whether I am serious, and if I am not, I will tell you why. On our first call, I will walk you through how I would finance the deal.
