You'll know in one call.
We buy one Texas company at a time. Below is the actual filter, not a wish list. If you are close on most of it, call anyway — we would rather say no in a few days than waste your quarter.
$3M to $10M.
$500K to $2M.
Industrial repair, home services, and light manufacturing.
Texas only. We are in Fort Worth and we buy what we can drive to. Showing up in person is most of the job.
One hundred percent. We are not looking for a minority stake or a board seat.
Retirement, succession, or an owner who is simply done. Not turnarounds. Not startups.
Where we don't fit.
- The business is really one person's phone contacts. When they leave, it leaves.
- It needs a turnaround before it needs an owner. We are not the right buyer for a rescue.
- The plan only works if we cut the team. Then it is not our plan.
- It is being run as a broad auction to 50 buyers. We will not win that, and we will not try.
One call. No brokers, no data room, nothing to sign.

A real number, and how we got to it, in writing.

Financial and legal. We keep the list short, and we do not re-trade.

Wire, keys, and a Monday plan you have already read.
