A small business is more than just a business.
It’s taking a risk when others are doubtful.
It’s long hours, challenging conversations, failures, and celebrations.
A small business is the life’s work of its owners.
That’s why we believe small business owners should be able to transition out of their business without compromising their legacy.
Timmerman Capital is a Columbus, Ohio-based investment firm with committed capital to acquire a privately-held company and help its current owners transition out of the business, or simply to partner alongside them and help scale the business to its full potential.
The businesses we look for:
Industry
B2B Services, SaaS, B2C Services
Financials
$1M to $10M+ in EBITDA
Geography
Any location within the Continental U.S.
Ownership Structure
Less than three owners.
Owner/Founder led.
Acquisition Strategy
Only interested in taking a majority stake in the business.
Open to CEO staying after acquisition or making a complete exit.
Equity rollover into the new entity, by seller, are welcomed.
Timeline
Interested in a partial or full exit in 2024.
