Markets we're exploring
Nothing here is final. They're listed in the order we find them most interesting today, and we would like to hear from anyone who knows these markets well.
Auto dealers hold sensitive customer financial data and answer to federal data-security rules. Many groups don't have a security team of their own. This is where our three backgrounds overlap most.
Regional providers with monthly contracts, loyal customers and an owner who is ready for a next chapter. Better security and sales can lift a good provider further.
Collision repair, detailing and other work around the dealership. We know how these businesses make money, and dealers are a natural source of referrals.
Simple businesses with steady local demand, especially where memberships recur or the deal includes the land.
Converting an underused property into something people will pay to visit, short-term rentals, and private real estate vehicles such as a REIT.
A butcher shop, a members' table, or events built around a long walk with heavy packs. We'd show up to these anyway.
What we look for
These are starting points, and we'll refine them as we talk to more owners.
You retire or move on, and we take care of the people you've built around you.
You take some money off the table and gain three partners to share the load.
Real estate, a joint venture, a slow handover. We'll work out what suits you.
