About Criteria Process Contact

What we look for

We are disciplined acquirers. Our criteria are designed to identify businesses where we can add the most value — and where sellers deserve the most respect.

Disciplined. Respectful.

Not every business is the right fit — and that's by design. We focus on opportunities where our operational model creates genuine, lasting value for everyone involved.

Operating History

We look for businesses with a minimum of 10 years of continuous operation. Longevity signals proven demand, resilient operations, and a loyal customer base.

10+ Years

Annual Revenue

Our sweet spot is businesses generating between $500K and $5M in annual revenue — large enough to be meaningful, small enough to be underserved by traditional private equity.

Ownership Profile

Family-owned or founder-led businesses where the principal owner is approaching retirement or seeking an exit — and values legacy over a purely transactional sale.

Owner-Operated

Industry Focus

We target home services, light manufacturing, professional services, and specialty retail — industries where fragmentation creates consolidation opportunity.

Geographic Reach
