An Option Many Owners Overlook
Have You Thought About Selling to Your Team?Many owners assume their managers could never afford to buy the company. On their own, they usually can’t. With the right partner, they can.
We bring the capital so the people who helped you build the business can own it, and you get a fair price for what you’ve built. If you’d like to explore it, we’ll start with you, at your pace.
A Fair Price, Backed by Real CapitalWe’ll show you how our offer compares to what the market would pay, so you know exactly what you’re choosing.
Your Legacy Stays With People You TrustThe company stays local, run by people who already care about it, your customers and your employees.
A Smoother HandoffThe new leaders already know the customers, the crew and how things get done. That means less disruption for everyone.

Do I Have to Sell 100%?

No. Choose the Option That Fits Your Goals.

There’s no one right way to do this. We shape each deal around what you want for yourself, your family and your people.

Sell to Your Team

We partner with your managers so the people who helped you build it can own it.

Questions Owners Ask Us

Frequently Asked Questions.

Selling your business is a major decision. We’re here to guide you and keep ownership local.

Could my management team buy the business?

Often, yes. Your managers bring the know-how, and we bring the capital and the process. You still get a fair price, and we’ll show you how it compares to your other options so you can decide with clear eyes.

Are you local to the Valley?

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 in the Valley since 1944.

What happens to my business’s presence in the community?

We have every intention of keeping the business in the Valley and growing it.

We live here and want to see families and businesses thrive, not be broken up or moved to other parts of the country.

I’m not sure my business is big enough. Should I still reach out?

Absolutely, please reach out. Even if your business is below our size criteria we still might be interested, and at the very least, we can connect you with local people we trust to help you take the next steps.

How do I sell my business?

For founder-led and family-owned businesses 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.

Do I have to sell 100%?

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 gives you a “second bite of the apple.”

How do you work with my business?

We listen and seek to understand. Chances are, we’re talking because you’re thinking about selling your business or bringing on a partner to help it grow. Together, we’ll take a close look at your leadership, the opportunities in your market and where you see things going long term.

What happens to my employees?

We know how much your employees mean to you. They’re like family. Our view is that the employees are the business. Without them the business wouldn’t exist. Protecting jobs and culture is always a top priority for us.

What happens if I stay involved?

Core to our process is listening to what you really want. From staying on full time for the foreseeable future to just a board seat, we listen and work with you to craft a solution. We don’t dictate how things are going to be. We work together to achieve the best outcome for all.

Will I regret selling my business?

We help you explore all angles, financial and emotional, so you make a decision you feel confident about.

Regardless of how we can help you, it is vitally important that you think about your “what’s next” and have it identified. We were all created to be purpose driven. You must identify your purpose in order to be fully happy about the decision to sell.
