Description
$7.4 trillion in small business assets are held by owners approaching retirement, creating a sizeable supply of attractive businesses for sale. Cost of living has increased substantially and wages have yet to catch up, driving highly qualified leaders and entrepreneurs to search for alternative career paths. According to both Stanford and SIG Partners, search funds, whether self-funded or traditional, have consistently delivered investors an IRR in the range of 30%.
It is our mission to…
1. Support small businesses and continue the legacies of retiring business owners
2. Enable acquisition entrepreneurs in their pursuit of financial freedom
3. Provide investors exposure to an attractive asset class that has outperformed many other alternative investing strategies
