Heavy equipment

Heavy equipment sales, service, leasing and rental will remain robust in good times and bad. In the event of a recession, companies are often reluctant to acquire new equipment and want to keep older equipment operating longer or lease rather than purchase.

trucking

The trucking industry is expecting modest growth in 2025. Well established companies are expecting to see shipping rates rise due to the departure of smaller operators that have suffered through the past couple years. Uncertainty on the impact of tariffs and potential trade wars on the overall economy could affect consumer spending and reduce freight volumes.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing has been a foundation of growth in the American economy throughout our history. Recent policy efforts may bring some off-shore manufacturing back to the USA. While the future is uncertain, many manufacturing facilities will benefit from modernization of equipment, processes and systems.

LOGISTICS

Reno, Nevada is a distribution hub and the gateway to California, where strict emissions requirements are expected to keep operators of older fleets from entering the state. Logistics operators with warehousing capabilities will benefit most from the final mile service for companies without CARB compliant vehicles. Reno businesses will benefit most due to close proximity to the border.

INTEGRATION

Our goal is to acquire several businesses with a common customer base. We increase profits by optimizing systems and operations across our businesses. We provide a variety of services to serve our customer's needs in order to increase enterprise value and customer satisfaction.. In this way, we can simplify customer operations and increase profits for both of us. We believe strong relationships require a "Win-Win" mentality.

Frequently asked questions

What size businesses are you looking for?

We are looking for businesses with $1,000,000 - $5,000,000 in adjusted EBITDA or SDE. While Private Equity is looking for businesses with $10,000,000+ in EBITDA, we are looking for smaller operations with room to grow. We want to talk with owners who are ready to exit their business or bring on a experienced partner to grow their business.

How will you value my business?

There are many factors that determine the valuation of a business. We typically use a multiple of EBITDA (Earning Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization. Factors that influence the multiple are: net profits, owner involvement, SOPs, KPIs, customer & supplier concentration, historic earnings as well as earnings growth, and more.

How will you fund the purchase?

We provide a cash down payment for our "skin in the game" and use a variety of funding sources depending on the deal and seller objectives. We may apply SBA financing for up to $5,000,000. We also have a capital partner that can inject funds for larger deals. Additionally, the seller is typically asked to carry equity or a note of 5% or more to ensure a smooth transition and continued success of the business.

What is an annuity deal?

An annuity deal provides some cash at closing to the seller with the remainder paid out over a period of 5-10 years, with the option of a balloon payment after 3 years. There are several benefits to an annuity structure, including: higher valuation, steady payments over several years, shorter due diligence period, and reduced tax liability. This translates to a quicker sale and more money in the seller's bank account.
