Acquirers & Investors
Know what you’re buying. Then run it right.
For searchers, independent sponsors, family offices, PE, and first-time buyers in the lower middle market. We do the diligence that tells you what you are really buying, and because we have actually run businesses, we can help you run it after the close. Indiana-rooted, and we do not disappear the day the wire hits.
How We Plug In
Two ways in, and they connect.
A
Diligence a deal
Quality of Earnings and buy-side diligence, including the customer-reference calls a report at this size usually skips. Know what you are buying before you wire.
B
Run it after the close
The operator who ran your diligence can stay on as CFO and operating partner through the first year and beyond. The plan the diligence surfaced, actually executed.
C
Operators for your portfolio
For sponsors and family offices: operator-level bench for a portfolio business that needs a hand, value creation and a steady seat, not just a quarterly deck.
The Operator Edge
Diligence from people who have sat in the seat.
Most diligence at this size stops at grading the numbers. We go further: we pair a CPA who has run more than 100 buyer-side reviews with an operator who has built and run real businesses. One proves the numbers are real; the other tells you whether they will hold, what will break in the first hundred days, and how to fix it. Nearly all post-deal trouble is people, so we diligence the team, not just the numbers.
