Professional Introductions to the Right Buyers
We are not brokers or bankers. We connect established consumer services firms with vetted investors actively seeking acquisitions, and we keep the process clear and confidential.
We begin with a private discussion about your goals, concerns, and what matters most to you in a potential partner. This initial conversation helps us understand your unique situation, brand philosophy, customer relationships, and expectations.
We collaborate with you to organize the essential information investors typically expect, keeping details high-level until you're ready to proceed. This ensures you're well-prepared while maintaining confidentiality and protecting your customer relationships.
We make targeted introductions only to strategic fits - vetted investors who align with your goals, values, and commitment to quality service delivery. No cold calls, no broad marketing, and no shotgun approaches that compromise your privacy.
Once connected, you engage directly with potential partners while we step back to allow authentic relationship building. We remain available for guidance and support throughout the process.
Whether you choose to move quickly or take time to carefully evaluate your options, the pace and final outcome remain entirely under your control. We support whatever decision serves your best interests.

No. We do not market your consumer services business publicly or take it out broadly. We make direct, confidential introductions to vetted investors where there is strong alignment on goals, culture, service philosophy, and strategic fit.
No. You and the buyer handle deal discussions directly. Our role focuses on making the right introductions and ensuring a respectful, efficient process that serves your timeline and objectives.
We work exclusively with established consumer services firms that have strong customer relationships, recurring revenue, and growth potential. This includes franchise systems, personal care services, home services, restoration/cleaning companies, pet services, educational services, childcare centers, and specialized consumer service providers.
The timeline varies based on your goals and readiness. Initial conversations and profile preparation typically take 2-4 weeks. From there, introductions can happen quickly, but you control the pace of any subsequent discussions.
