Acquisition

I buy businesses.

If you’re thinking about selling, let’s have a straight conversation about what your business is worth and whether it’s a fit.

01The Criteria

What I’m looking for.

I’m interested in small to mid-size businesses with real revenue, a customer base that isn’t going anywhere, and an owner who’s ready for the next chapter. Industry is less important than fundamentals. If the business runs well and the numbers make sense, I want to hear about it.

Established Revenue

Proven, consistent revenue. Not startups.

Clean Operations

A business that runs without the owner doing everything.

Motivated Seller

You’re ready to move. We can work around your timeline.

02The Process

How this works.

01

Reach Out

Fill out the form or email me directly. Tell me about the business.

02

Initial Conversation

30 minutes. No obligation. Just an honest conversation.

03

Due Diligence

If there’s mutual interest, we go deeper. I move quickly and I don’t waste your time.

04

Close

If the numbers work and it’s a fit, we close. Simple as that.

03 — The Buyer
Operator, not PE

Who you’re dealing with.

I’m Charles Holmes IV. Chicago-based MBA and operator. I’ve built and run multiple businesses across AI implementation, government contracting, and marketing. I know what a well-run business looks like and I know what it takes to keep one running after a transaction.

I’m not a private equity firm. I’m a buyer who will actually run what I buy.
