I am launching an independent search fund to acquire and operate a recession-resistant business with $300k–$5M in EBITDA, a sub-4x multiple and at least 15% profit margin. This PPM outlines the thesis, criteria, and investor structure for those seeking exposure to high-quality private businesses with strong downside protection and long-term value creation. Why This Matters Now Institutional capital is flooding into AI, biotech, and speculative ventures. Meanwhile, essential services and infrastructure businesses continue to generate stable, predictable returns with limited competition from institutional buyers. Backing this fund offers: Recession-proof industries Essential-service demand Clear exit pathways Long-term equity upside Target Sectors • Essential Consumer Services: Laundromats, Car Washes • Food Security: Grocery Stores / Supermarkets • Critical Infrastructure: Construction & Infrastructure Services These industries combine fragmentation, operational inefficiency, and necessity-driven demand, creating an ideal landscape for acquisition and growth. Acquisition Criteria • Revenue: $5M–$30M • EBITDA: $300k–$5M • Ownership: Founder succession & generational transition opportunities • Geography: U.S. focused, opportunistic regional flexibility. Investor Structure • Committed Capital: $400K–$500K to fund the search process, diligence, and closing execution • Equity Participation: Direct ownership in the acquired entity • Return Profile: Preferred return + equity upside, aligned incentives Our fund also integrates SBA-backed leverage where strategically viable, optimizing investor equity and accelerating returns through government-supported financing.
