FAQ’s for Business Owners
Selling your business is a major decision and Methodica is here to guide you and keep ownership local.
-
Yes. I was born and raised in Kinsman, OH and still live here today. My family name is well respected and we have owned and operated businesses since 1944 in the Valley.
-
We have every intention of keeping the business in the Valley and growing it.
We live here and want to see familes and businesses thrive, not be broken up or moved to other parts of the country.
-
Absolutely, please reach out. Even if your business is below our size criteria we still might be interested, and at the very least, can connect you with some local people we trust to help you take the next steps.
-
For founder led and family owned business it can take many shapes. Sometimes there is another generation who wants to run the business but many times there isn’t.
Either way, we come alongside you to explore the options. If the business isn’t a good fit for us we likely know another interested investor.
-
Not at all. Many owners sell part of their business, take some chips off the table, and keep a stake in the future growth. This allows you to get a “2nd bite of the apple”.
