Thinking About

You built something real. A business that employs good people and serves your community. When you're ready for what's next — whether that's retirement, a new venture, or just stepping back — we'd like to talk about keeping your legacy alive.

Start a Confidential Conversation
How It Works

A Straightforward Process

No pressure, no games. Just honest conversations about whether we're the right fit for each other.

We Have a Conversation

It starts with a confidential call. You tell us about your business — what you've built, where it's at, and what you're looking for. We share how The Craft Group works and what a partnership could look like. No commitment, no pressure.

We Get to Know the Business

If there's mutual interest, we take a closer look. We review your financials, meet key team members (with your permission), and understand what makes your business tick. This stage is collaborative — we're learning together whether this is the right fit.

We Make It Official

If everything lines up, we put together a fair offer and close the deal. Your team stays. Your brand stays. We bring in resources — marketing, technology, back-office support — to help the business grow. And we structure the transition around what works for you.

Why Us

What Makes Us Different

🏷️

We Keep Your Brand

Your business name, your reputation, your identity in the community — all of it stays. We're not here to slap a corporate logo on your trucks.

👥

We Keep Your People

Your team is the business. We retain employees, often improve their compensation, and create new growth opportunities for the people who made your company what it is.

🚫

No Private Equity Games

We're not a fund with a five-year exit timeline. We buy businesses to run them — long-term. We're not going to load up your company with debt or flip it to the next buyer.

📊

Fair Valuations

We don't lowball. We look at what your business is actually worth — revenue, team, reputation, customer base — and offer a number that respects what you've built.

🔄

Flexible Transitions

Want to walk away on closing day? We'll make it seamless. Want to stay on for a year to help with the handoff? We'll structure it. The timeline is yours.

⚙️

Real Growth Support

We bring marketing, modern technology, accounting, and operational support. Your team focuses on the work — we handle the stuff that most small business owners hate doing.

Everything you share here stays between us. This is the beginning of a conversation — not a commitment.

FAQ

Common Questions

What size businesses do you acquire?
We typically look at established service businesses doing between $500K and $5M+ in annual revenue, but we're open to conversations with businesses outside that range. What matters most is a solid team, a good reputation, and real customers.
Will you keep my employees?
Yes. Your team is the most valuable part of the business. We retain all employees and often improve their compensation and benefits. We've never laid off a team after an acquisition.
Will you change my company's name?
No. Your brand stays. Your trucks keep the same logo. Your customers see the same name they trust. We operate each company independently under its own brand.
How long does the process take?
From first conversation to close, typically 60 to 120 days depending on complexity. We move at whatever pace is comfortable for you — but we don't drag our feet either.
Do I have to leave immediately?
Not at all. Many owners stay on for a transition period — sometimes a few months, sometimes longer. We structure the deal around what works for you. Some owners want a clean break, others want to stay involved. Both work.
What trades do you focus on?
We're interested in any skilled trade service business — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, roofing, painting, and more. If you run a crew, serve customers, and do quality work, we want to hear from you.
Is this conversation confidential?
Absolutely. We understand the sensitivity of considering a sale. Nothing you share with us will be disclosed to your employees, customers, or competitors without your explicit permission.
