Is This You?

You Might Be Ready to Sell If...

Most owners don't wake up one day and decide to sell. It's a slow realization. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth having a conversation.

You're tired of carrying everything yourself — and there's no clear successor in the business.
You don't have a family member who wants to take over, and you're not sure what comes next.
Growth has become harder than it used to be, and you're not sure you want to do what it takes to get to the next level.
You want to unlock the value you've built — but you care deeply about your team and customers being in good hands.
You've been approached before, but the buyers felt wrong — financial, transactional, not operators.
You're ready for a new chapter, but you want someone who will honor what you've built, not dismantle it.

Why Sell to Us

Operators Who Understand
What You've Built

We're not a fund. We're not flipping your business in three years. We built and sold our own company — we know what it costs to create something real. Our goal is to honor that and keep building.

01
Operator, Not Investor
We've run businesses and led teams through real growth. We understand operations, people, and what it takes to sustain momentum after a transition.
02
Founder-Friendly Process
Straightforward, respectful, and private. No games, no low-ball tactics. We move efficiently and communicate directly throughout the process.
03
Continuity First
Your team, your customers, your culture — these matter. We're not coming in to blow it up. We're coming in to protect what works and build on it.
04
We've Been on Your Side of the Table
We sold our own business — and then ran it for eight more years under new ownership. We know what it’s like to operate someone else’s investment, hit their numbers, and earn their trust every quarter. That’s exactly what we’ll do with yours.

About Us

Founders. Operators. Buyers.

"I built South Carolina's first craft distillery, scaled it internationally, and sold it to a family office."

Built South Carolina's first craft distillery, scaled it to a $10M P&L and 40 employees across two locations, and sold it to a family office after four years. He then ran the business as its senior-most executive under their ownership for eight more years — delivering 200% profit growth in peak years — before stepping away in 2022.

Since the exit: Fractional COO and Operating Partner across founder-led and PE-backed companies — including reversing a division from $20K/month losses to breakeven, and building operating systems and financial controls for businesses from startup through $20M+ revenue.

Background
Founder → COO → Buyer
Prior Exit
Built & sold SC's first craft distillery to PE
Focus
Deal structure, financing, due diligence
"I spent eleven years building something from the ground up — and then spent three more years proving I could do it again somewhere else entirely."

Co-built and operated the same distillery alongside Joe — through the sale to a family office after four years, then eight more years running guest experience, staff training, and front-of-house operations under new ownership, building the loyalty and service programs that became the operational backbone of the business.

After the exit, spent three years at a $30M+ industrial parts distributor, where she built the company's pricing function from scratch — improving company-wide margin from 48% to 53.5% — along with its first sales support department, vendor relations program, and customer support KPI framework, training her own successors before leaving.

Background
Operator → Builder → Buyer
Track Record
Built pricing function improving margin 48%→53.5% at $30M+ company
Focus
Team, culture, customer & transition experience
Joe drives the deal — structure, financing, valuation, and close. Roxy leads the operational read — your team, your customers, what a smooth handoff actually looks like on the ground. That's not two people doing the same job; it's two real disciplines working in parallel, covering the full picture of what a good transition requires.

We live in Greenville, SC with our two kids. We hike, camp, and know the Carolinas well.

The Process

Simple. Private. Respectful.

Most sellers have never done this before. Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises, no games.

We split this the way we split everything — Joe leads deal structure, financing, and due diligence. Roxy leads the operational and cultural read: your team, your customers, what a smooth transition actually looks like day to day.

01
Introductory Conversation
A low-pressure call to understand your situation and whether there might be a fit. Completely confidential.
02
Confidential Information Exchange
If we both want to go further, we sign an NDA and you share financials and operational details at your comfort level.
03
Valuation Discussion
Joe shares his thinking on value and structure — directly, honestly, with no low-ball tactics.
04
Letter of Intent
If we agree on terms, we issue a clear, straightforward LOI outlining price, structure, and timeline.
05
Due Diligence
Joe leads financial and operational due diligence. Roxy spends time with your team and customers to understand what makes the business work day to day — not to re-trade the deal.
06
Close & Transition
We close on agreed terms. We work with you on a transition that protects your team, customers, and legacy.
Ready to move when you are. Joe has acquisition financing relationships established and has completed his own business exit — together we understand both sides of this transaction and know how to close.
