Looking for a buyer who’ll treat the business like you would.
SPLX is actively looking to acquire and partner with small businesses we believe in. If you’re thinking about succession, retirement, or a partial exit — we’d like to be in the conversation.
Why us, as buyers
We aren’t a roll-up looking for a quick flip. We’re operators who’ve spent our careers building durable businesses, and we’re looking for one or two we can run for the long haul. Our consulting work has given us a clear view of what makes small businesses break under new ownership — we’re committed to not being the cause of that.
What that means in practice: we keep the team. We respect the brand. We move slowly on the things that matter to your customers. And we tell you the truth about our plans, including the parts you might not love.
What we look for
- Industries: service businesses and supply chain operations.
- Revenue: $1M – $10M
- Geography: Utah and the Mountain West
- Seller profile: owner-operators planning succession, retirement, or a partial exit, who care about what happens to their team and their name after the deal closes.
- What we won’t do: hostile takeovers, rapid headcount cuts, brand erasure, or deals where the previous owner can’t look the team in the eye afterward.
What a first conversation looks like
A 30-minute call, fully confidential. No NDA needed for the first call; we’ll sign one before you share anything you wouldn’t want a stranger to see. We’ll ask about the business, your timeline, and what matters most to you about how the transition happens. You’ll ask us anything you want about who we are and how we operate.
If there’s a fit, the next steps are slow and deliberate. If there isn’t, we’ll tell you that — and where we think the right buyer for you might be.
If you’re considering selling your business in the next year or two, we’d be honored to be in the conversation.
