You don’t need millions to own a company. You need operational skill, a strong backbone behind the deal, and the right structure to make it real.
That’s where we come in.
We work with select operators who have led teams, grown revenue, and solved real problems in the field. We give them the opportunity to acquire profitable, cash-flowing companies with as little as 0% to 10% down.
The financial engine is built around your leadership. Deals are structured using senior debt, seller financing, and investor capital, layered to reduce friction and create real sustainability. Once you’re in place, the focus becomes growth, profitability, and long-term success.
But capital alone doesn’t make a deal work. Smart governance is what keeps it on track.
The Playbook
Here’s how it works:
- We source companies that make sense. Businesses in heavy equipment, aviation, maritime, rentals, maintenance, or industrial services.
- We structure the capital. Senior debt, seller financing, and investor capital layered the right way to minimize the cash needed up front.
- We bring in a capable operator (you), who steps into the leadership role, gains real equity, and takes ownership of the outcome.
You run the business. We build the financial engine and governance framework that keeps it running smoothly.
Built-In Protection That Makes Growth Possible
Every deal starts with a close analysis of the condition the business is in when we acquire it. If it’s solid and organized, the governance can be lean. If it’s disorganized or showing signs of distress, stronger controls are put in place from day one.
The goal is to build a structure that increases the odds of success while protecting the operator, the business, and everyone involved.
Key protections include:
- Profit Reserves A portion of profits, typically 20% of quarterly EBITDA, is placed into a reserve account. This serves as a business emergency fund, providing a cushion when challenges come up.
- Decision Controls Major financial moves like large purchases, taking on new debt, or giving up equity require approval. This keeps the company focused and prevents decisions that can cause long-term damage.
- Clear Reporting Operators provide simple monthly updates. We help build clear dashboards so that performance is always visible and easy to track.
- Performance-Aligned Compensation Operator compensation is tied to performance but is designed to avoid draining the company’s cash during the early stages of growth.
These safeguards aren’t there to create friction. They’re there to protect momentum. Structure makes scale possible and keeps the ship steady as it grows.
This Isn’t for Everyone
We’re looking for people who:
- Have operational experience (managers, GMs, field leaders)
- Understand the day-to-day of running a business
- Want ownership, not just a paycheck
- Are ready to commit to something real
We match operators with real businesses and build the structure around them.
What You Don’t Need
- You don’t need to raise your own capital
- You don’t need to navigate SBA loans or seller financing alone
- You don’t need to source the business — we handle that
Why This Works
Because the capital stack we build is tailored to make the deal happen. We align banks, sellers, and investors in a way that removes friction and gets deals across the finish line. And we don’t disappear after closing. We stay involved to make sure the company scales, stabilizes, and grows.
What to Expect
This process isn’t overnight. It’s methodical, professional, and built to last. We conduct deep diligence, secure the right financing, and place you in a position where you can thrive.
You’re not buying a dream. You’re stepping into reality with the right backing.
Interested?
We’re interviewing operators who want to step into ownership. If you’ve got experience, hunger, and leadership ability, we’ll bring the rest. Reach out and let’s talk.
