We’re looking to acquire one commercial HVAC-R company in Charlotte, NC.
For keeps. No planned resale. No investor deadline.
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE U.S. ECONOMY
We believe these businesses should remain locally owned and led, with decisions shaped by the people whose livelihoods depend on them—not the timelines of financial buyers.
FINANCIAL BUYERS:
The “fund” buyer. They'll say "platform" and "growth." Their plan is to sell your company again in three to seven years.
The “forever” buyer. They’ll say “long-term partner,” “servant leadership,” and “your forever home.” Their plan is to go public in three to seven years.
OUR WHY:
“I built and sold Level Proof Foundation Solutions, now part of RhinoLift Foundation Solutions, too early.
After working for a $1B commercial MEP services platform, I realized I would rather run one company indefinitely.
Studying Chick-fil-A shaped my long-term view of ownership. Running my own business taught me the responsibility of leading people. And seeing a $300M investment up close showed me how quickly financial expectations can change people’s priorities.”
