We match owners of title and settlement businesses with two operators buying one business to run for the long term. Primary geography west of Denver, opportunistic nationally. No cost to you.
Not a fund. Not a broker. Two principals with committed capital, relocating to the business and running it day-to-day.
Two principals buying one business to own and operate for the long term. Anti-private-equity, pro-legacy. No five-year fund clock and no plan to flip.
The lead operator acquired a services business at $5M in revenue via search fund in 2003, grew it to $300M and 3,000 employees, and took it public on the NASDAQ. This is not their first services acquisition.
Financing is in place, backed by institutional investors. No financing contingency. No committee vote. Fast yes or fast no from the two principals themselves.
Both principals relocate to the business and run it day-to-day. Investment goes into the team, training, and practical systems that make the operation easier to run. Rollover equity available.
