Join our network of accredited investors who benefit from professionally managed business acquisitions. We identify, acquire, and operate profitable businesses while you enjoy passive income and capital appreciation.
Our investment strategy focuses on leveraging SBA 7(a) loans to acquire profitable small businesses with stable cash flows. This approach allows for high potential returns with lower initial capital requirements.
We create diversified portfolios across various industries and geographic locations to mitigate risk and maximize overall returns. This strategy helps protect against industry-specific downturns.
Post-acquisition, we implement strategic improvements in operations, marketing, and financial management to increase business value and cash flow before eventual exit.
Our unique investor partnership model aligns interests by sharing both risk and reward, with transparent reporting and governance structures to protect investor interests.
Investing in search funds involves substantial risk of loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of their investment.
Any past performance information presented is not indicative of future results. No representation is being made that any investment will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved in the past, or that significant losses will be avoided.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Investments in search funds are highly illiquid. There is no public market for these interests, and no secondary market is expected to develop. Investors may not be able to liquidate their investment when desired or realize their anticipated return.
SBA 7(a) leveraged buyouts involve significant debt financing, which may amplify gains or losses and increase the risk of investment loss during periods of negative performance. The terms of such financing may limit operational flexibility and create additional risks.
The tax consequences of an investment may vary significantly for each investor. Potential investors should consult with their tax advisors prior to making an investment decision to understand the tax implications specific to their situation.

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—using 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—not exits on a fixed timeline.
Established, profitable companies in home services, construction, business services, Industrial Services, Infrastructure Services, and Specialty Manufacturing. We avoid food, restaurants, and brick-and-mortar retail.
$1M–$5M purchase price. We will look slightly outside that range for the right fit.
Primarily U.S. companies in stable, growing markets.
Direct co-ownership of the operating company. ACG typically arranges senior financing (e.g., SBA 7(a)) and coordinates closing; partners equity contribute. There is no pooled fund or no public solicitation. We coordinate the transaction and governance agreements on a deal-by-deal basis.
No. No pooled funds or public solicitation. Each transaction is a private decision among the parties.
Ownership corresponds to who funds what at purchase. If a partner contributes 10% of the purchase price in equity and ACG secures 90% in financing, the partner owns 10% and ACG owns 90%. Exact terms are set deal-by-deal and documented at closing.
By default, partners receive information rights and a board seat or observer role. Specifics are defined deal-by-deal in the governance documents.
Yes. We retain proven management and equip them with operating playbooks, disciplined finance, sales/marketing support, and practical technology. Where there are gaps, we augment management with proven leaders or specialists (interim or permanent).
Timelines vary by deal and lender. We run a focused, document-ready diligence process to move efficiently.
Quarterly financials and KPIs. Distributions depend on cash flow, lender covenants, and board decisions.
We issue K-1s from the operating entity, targeting March 31 each year, subject to CPA timing and any required adjustments.
Default long-term hold, with opportunistic exits when it maximizes after-tax outcomes.
No. Co-ownership interests in private companies are illiquid and long-term.
All private business ownership involves risk, including loss of capital. Leverage can amplify outcomes and may constrain flexibility.
By invitation. We partner with people we know who can evaluate small business acquisitions and are comfortable with long-term co-ownership and quarterly reporting.
Informational only. Not an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any security. We do not publicly solicit investments.
Forward-looking statements: Certain statements may be forward-looking and are subject to risks and uncertainties; actual results may differ. Eligibility: If a transaction constitutes an offer or sale of a security, it will be made privately in reliance on applicable exemptions and only to persons eligible to participate.
