Hello all, I’ve been actively searching for the past 18 months and have come close on a few deals. I’m partnering with another experienced leader, and together we’re looking to acquire a profitable, established business in the Chicagoland area, ideally with $500K to $1.2M in SDE.
We both bring executive leadership backgrounds and are ready to step in, operate, and grow the right business. Open to various industries — we’re not looking for a fixer-upper, but we’re also not afraid of hands-on work.
If you know of anything on or off market that might fit, or if you're a broker or seller with something aligned, we’d love to connect.
Thanks in advance,
