Ready to Retire? Let's Talk About Your Legacy
If you're a business owner in manufacturing or distribution thinking about retirement, I'm interested in acquiring established businesses where I can preserve your legacy, protect your team, and continue the growth trajectory you've built.
Unlike private equity or corporate buyers, I offer a personal approach with operational expertise to ensure your business thrives long after you've moved on.

Why Equity Partnerships?

- •Equity in lieu of fees for consulting engagements
- •Fractional leadership roles with equity participation
- •Performance-based equity tied to specific milestones
- •Hybrid models combining fees and equity stakes
