Hi everyone, I’m currently pursuing a self-funded search to acquire and operate a small business in the U.S. I’m actively building relationships with investors who are interested in partnering on acquisition opportunities. Target business profile: • $500K – $3M EBITDA • Strong cash flow and defensible niche • Prefer manufacturing in and around metals, rubber, and/or plastics. • Owner transition or retirement situation My background is in operations and growth strategy, and my goal is to acquire a business where I can serve as the long-term operator and build value through operational improvements and disciplined growth. If you’re an investor active in the ETA space or interested in reviewing deals as they arise, I’d welcome the chance to connect. Thanks in advance for the support and insights this community shares.
