What we buy

Manufacturing, distribution, and services, business-to-business or consumer-facing. One location or several.

Recurring revenue, a manager in place, and operations a new owner can run. An owned facility and issued patents are a plus.

Selectively, land and commercial real estate in the same two regions.
