Profitable businesses we already own, leased to operators who are done building somebody else's empire. You don't need half a million dollars. You need to be able to run the place.
Every path to owning a business asks you for money you don't have, or years you can't get back. Here's what's actually standing between you and the keys.
An SBA 7(a) on a million-dollar business wants six figures in cash, two years of tax returns, and a personal guarantee secured by everything you own. Miss a covenant and it's not the business that's on the hook. It's you.
You pay to be allowed to open. You fund the buildout. You follow the manual. And you pay a percentage of revenue — not profit, revenue — every month for the rest of the term, on a location you paid to build.
No customers, no staff, no vendor terms, no trailing P&L. You burn your savings learning the same lessons the business down the street learned a decade ago, and most of the time the savings run out first.
None of those are a shortage of ability. They're a shortage of capital. We already have the capital.
Ten minutes. What you've run, what you've been responsible for, what you actually want to operate. No résumé theatre — we care about the P&L you've carried and the crew you've held together.
An interview, reference calls to people who watched you run something, a background check, and a working session on a real profit-and-loss statement. Most applications stop here. That's the point.
We place you against a business we already own — in a category and a market we're actually in. You get the trailing financials, the staffing picture and the lease terms before you commit to anything.
A fixed monthly lease on the operation, written down in full before you sign. We keep the asset and the debt. You take operational control of a business that's already running.
Everything above the lease and the operating costs is yours. Hit the terms month after month and you're building toward the purchase option instead of building somebody's quarterly numbers.
On your first morning, all of this already exists. You are not building it. You are running it.
Terms are set per business and written in full before anything is signed. You see the trailing profit-and-loss statement first. If the numbers don't work for you, you walk — that's a normal outcome, not a failed one.
A business with staff and customers is not a training exercise. We would rather leave a location unmatched than hand it to the wrong operator.
We acquire established, cash-flowing operations — then we find the person to run them.
Full service, fast casual, neighbourhood bars. Established covers, established crews.
Pizzerias, catering operations, ghost-kitchen brands and multi-unit franchisee groups.
Route-based and recurring-revenue operations with technicians already in trucks.
Single-location operators with loyal traffic and an owner ready to hand it off.
We buy outright and we don't disappear into a financing contingency. If you're ready to hand yours to someone who'll keep the staff employed, start here.
No. There's no franchise fee, no franchise agreement and no royalty on your revenue. You operate a business we own under a written operator lease. It's a fundamentally different structure, and it isn't a franchise offering.
A fixed monthly lease on the operation, plus the normal costs of running it — payroll, food, utilities, supplies. The lease amount is set per business against its trailing performance and it's in the agreement before you sign. What's left after the lease and the costs is yours.
Then you're operating at a loss against a lease obligation, which is a real risk and we won't pretend otherwise. It's why you get the trailing financials before you commit, why we underwrite the business before we buy it, and why we turn down most applicants. Specific protections and remedies are written into each agreement.
That's the intent for operators who perform. Agreements include a purchase option so a strong operator can convert years of running it well into equity rather than starting over. Terms are per deal — ask us directly and we'll walk you through a live one.
You don't fund the acquisition — that's the entire point of the model. Depending on the business there may be a working-capital or security requirement, disclosed up front, and you'll want a personal runway for the first few months like any operator would.
We run a background check and reference calls. We're underwriting whether you can run a business with staff and cash in it, not whether you had a rough 2019.
We buy in specific markets rather than everywhere at once. Tell us where you are and where you'd move to on the application — geography is one of the biggest factors in whether we can match you.
For operators who make it through vetting, typically 30 to 60 days from application to keys — but only when there's a business that fits. We won't invent a match to fill a pipeline.
Applications take about ten minutes. If you've run something real, we want to read it.
