We are a principal-led private acquisition firm with a family office mindset and independent sponsor flexibility. We acquire established, cash-flowing small businesses, typically one per year. We use a flexible capital stack that may include personal capital, seller financing, and senior debt. We operate with long-term ownership intent, focusing on stability, profitability, and operational excellence rather than exits on a fixed timeline.
We buy profitable, established businesses with management in place. ACG keeps the team that knows the business best and equips them to win with operating playbooks, disciplined finance, sales and marketing support, and practical technology. When there are gaps, we augment management with proven leaders or specialists, interim or permanent, to strengthen execution. We structure for stability and growth, align incentives, and support management to compound cash flow and build lasting value.
With experience in a wide range of industries, we can step in and step up from day one to keep your business running soundly.
We use a flexible capital stack that may include SBA loans, equity, and seller financing to get deals done quickly.
We know the acquisition process cold. We move fast, manage every detail, and get to closing.
We work with M&A Counsel who knows how to keep deals on track and amicable.
We take on the back office so our portfolio companies can focus on what matters—employees and customers.
Exiting owners gain peace of mind knowing their legacy endures, their employees are taken care of, and their proceeds are secure. We keep proven management in place, support them with operating systems and growth capital, and run a respectful, on-time process.
We are respectful, responsive, and decisive buyers. We engage with clear criteria, fast diligence, aligned terms, and the resources to close, which means fewer surprises and shorter timelines for your clients. We are buyers, not co-brokers.
As a minority owner, you participate in cash flow and long-term value without day-to-day operations. We remove administrative friction by centralizing finance, HR, marketing, process improvement, and collections, and provide transparent reporting with periodic distributions.
We're disciplined buyers who only pursue businesses that fit our capabilities and target profile.
We favor Agreement to Purchase Assets in lieu of LOIs to show strong commitment for deals we are pursuing. Every deal we pursue is intentional, well-matched, and high-conviction.
We focus on:
We're business owners first. That gives us an edge in both due diligence and daily operations. We know what it takes to run a company, not just buy one.
Our approach brings:
We acquire selectively and hold long term—typically one strong company per year.
