SMB ACQUISITION CRITERIA
Continuing small business visions through investment and direct ownership.
Despite the popularity of entrepreneurship almost all startups fail or never truly reach their potential. Acquisition entrepreneurship changes that. Buying or investing into an existing company provides a profitable infrastructure in which to scale from, without worrying about product/market fit.
We are passionate being a part of this ecosystem through investment and ownership. We are looking for acquisitions or investment opportunities in the B2B manufacturing or essential service space. Desired targets would have $1M to $5M in revenue, and located within the Midwest (WI, IL, MI) of the United States.
| Acquisition Criteria | |
|---|---|
| ✓ Based on Chicago or Midwest (WI, IL, MI) | ✓ Revenue: $1m to $5m+ |
| ✓ B2B Manufacturing of Essential Service space | ✓ Earnings: $300k to $1.5m |
| ✓ Loyal and diverse customer base | ✓ 3+ years of consistent performance |
| ✓ Owner looking for legacy to be continued | ✓ Employees with leadership potential |
Strategic Lens is not a private equity firm. We are interested in directly operating the companies we acquire or invest in. We aim to ensure the owners legacy is preserved, that existing staff are empowered with growth opportunities, and a collective long term vision enabled.
For Owners considering a sale, we would love the opportunity to chat and learn more. We are already vetted by debt partners and ready to move to through financial and legal diligence when appropriate and the pace you are comfortable with.
For Intermediaries advising clients on succession, we offer a referral bonus upon successfully closing the transaction.
