Buyer Profile
What I'm Looking For in a Business
I'm a serious, relationship-first buyer seeking to acquire and grow one exceptional small business. Here's exactly what I'm looking for — and what you can expect from working with me.
Acquisition Criteria
The Businesses I'm Targeting
Geography
Continental United States
Open to acquisitions across the continental US. Strong preference for businesses with deep community ties and local brand recognition.
Deal Size
$500,000 – $2,000,000 SDE
Targeting businesses with $500k to $2M in Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Revenue typically $1M–$8M depending on margins.
Industries
E-commerce, Tech, Sports/Events, Home Services
Focused on sectors with proven demand, recurring revenue potential, and clear paths to operational improvement.
Business Profile
Established, Profitable, Owner-Operated
Businesses with 3+ years of operating history, consistent profitability, and an owner ready to transition to their next chapter.
Team
Existing Staff Retained
I value the people who built the business. My goal is to retain key employees and preserve the culture the owner has created.
Deal Structure
Flexible — SBA, Seller Financing, Equity
Open to SBA loans, seller financing, and creative deal structures. I prioritize terms that work for both parties.
Ideal Business
What the Right Business Looks Like
I'm not looking for a turnaround. I'm looking for a business that's already working — one where the owner has built something real, and is ready to hand it to someone who will protect and grow it.
Consistent revenue and profitability for 3+ years
Strong customer relationships and repeat business
Clear operational processes (even if undocumented)
Owner willing to provide transition support
Employees who are invested in the business's success
A brand with genuine community recognition
Not a Fit
What I'm Not Seeking
Being clear about what isn't a fit saves everyone time. I'm transparent about my criteria so sellers can self-select and we can have honest conversations from the start.
Businesses requiring significant turnaround or restructuring
Highly distressed or loss-making operations
Businesses with no existing team or systems
Deals requiring more than $2M SDE valuation
Industries outside my target sectors
Sellers unwilling to provide any transition period
The Process
What Sellers Can Expect
My process is built on respect, transparency, and moving at a pace that works for you.
Initial Conversation
A confidential, no-pressure call to understand your business and goals. No NDA required at this stage — just an honest conversation.
Preliminary Review
I review basic financials and business information. I move quickly and respect your time. You'll have a clear answer within days, not weeks.
Letter of Intent
If there's mutual interest, I present a clear, fair LOI. No games, no lowball offers. My terms reflect what the business is actually worth.
Due Diligence & Close
A thorough but efficient due diligence process. I work with experienced advisors and aim to close within 60–90 days of a signed LOI.
Target Sectors

Online retail businesses with established customer bases, strong brand identity, and scalable fulfillment operations.
Niche retail, DTC brands, marketplace sellers
