What we buy

Steady, simple, profitable.

We look for established companies in and around Texas that have quietly made money for years — the kind of business an owner is proud of and a buyer can understand on a single page. Here's what that means to us.

01 / Quick
Decisions made in-house, not by committee.
02 / Patient
We buy to hold, not to flip.
03 / Simple
We prefer businesses we understand.
04 / Straight
You'll always get a straight answer.

We make quick decisions on a short list of things.

What we look for
01Consistent profitability
Years of steady earnings — not a hockey-stick projection.
02Revenue under $30 million
Small and lower middle-market is where we're most useful.
03Recurring revenue
Customers who come back without being chased.
04Low customer concentration
No single account that keeps you up at night.
05In or around Texas
Places we know and can drive to.
06Simple to understand
If it needs a slide deck to explain, it's probably not for us.
Usually a good fit

Where we're most useful

  • An owner ready to retire or step back, without an obvious successor
  • A family business where the next generation has other plans
  • A seller who cares what happens to the name and the people after closing
  • A broker who needs a buyer that actually closes
Usually not a fit

Where we'll point you elsewhere

  • Start-ups, or companies that aren't profitable yet
  • Turnarounds that need a rescue
  • Businesses that take a slide deck to explain
  • Companies far from Texas

If it isn't a fit, we'll tell you — and we'll often point you toward someone better suited.

How it works

A simple process, start to finish.

01
Send us a note
A short description of the business, three years of financials if you have them, and what you're hoping for.
02
Get a straight answer
We'll tell you quickly and honestly whether it's a fit.
03
Agree on simple terms
A short letter of intent in plain English, with a price we intend to stand behind.
04
Close and carry on
No re-trading at the eleventh hour. Your brand, location, and team stay put.
