Frequently Asked Questions

We acquire existing, operating businesses within our buy markets of Florida, Illinois, Texas and California. We do not invest in start-ups. Our target companies generally generate between $1 million and $10 million in annual revenue. Our core buy-and-scale focus is the Home Services sector, meaning residential property maintenance and repair. That includes roofing installation and repair, pool maintenance and repair, HVAC installation and repair, and landscaping services, serving residential and commercial markets. If your company is established, operating and fits within these ranges, we welcome a conversation to see whether it is a good match.

Every deal is custom-structured around the seller's situation and goals. Depending on what makes sense, a transaction may include cash at closing, seller financing, creative asset financing, and short-term or long-term payouts. Structuring a sale this way can help maximize the total sale amount and, in some cases, may minimize taxes compared with taking a single lump-sum gain. Because every owner's circumstances differ, we recommend reviewing the structure with your own accountant or tax advisor. During a consultation, we walk through the options so you understand how each one works before making any decisions.

A traditional business sale often takes about 5 to 8 months, since it typically involves marketing the company, finding a qualified buyer, negotiating, and waiting on third-party lender approvals. When creative or seller financing is part of the deal structure, a closing can often be completed in about 30 days. Timelines still depend on factors such as the condition of financial records, the due diligence process, and how quickly both sides finalize terms. Preparing your documentation ahead of time and planning your exit early can help the process move more smoothly.

Our team is made up of real business owners and entrepreneurs with 20+ years of hands-on experience building, growing and acquiring companies. We understand the time and effort it takes to build a business, so we treat every company, along with its customers, employees and vendors, as if we had built it ourselves. Depending on our buy-and-scale model, we may acquire a company internally or buy and hold it within our acquisitions portfolio. Consultations are by appointment only. Owners can call, text, email or WhatsApp Francisco Duarte to start a confidential conversation about their options.
