Our Investment Approach

Here’s what’s important to us when we partner with a family or founder:

Build On Success. We believe in preserving and building upon the core of what makes a company special and investing in growth by building upon, rather than tearing down, the foundations that have made your business a proven success.
Take Care of Good People. Partnering with and finding ways to empower and provide opportunity for your trusted employees and team is a fundamental part of my approach. In almost every deal we’ve done, management has had a significant equity stake.
Speed & Certainty of Close. We can move quickly and can close in as little as 45-60 days. We can often sidestep the lengthy and burdensome process of traditional private equity diligence and get the deal done with minimal disruption to your life and your business. We have closed on many transactions that no other buyer could figure out.
Win-Win Thinking. We know that good partnerships are created when both parties are fair and come to the table to work together and create a win-win. We don’t believe in doing business any other way. I won’t do a deal without feeling that it’s fair and equitable to everyone involved.

Who We Want To Partner With

Here are the kinds of companies we want to partner with:

Company Size: $1m to $10m in revenue and $300K to $2m in EBITDA
Southwest Based: We are based in West Coast and primarily looking for companies in the US southwest region including: Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Utah.
Industry Agnostic: focusing primarily around e-commerce, healthcare, wellness, services, manufacturing, and technology businesses.
Strong Asset Base: We prefer businesses with a strong mix of assets on their balance sheet.
Existing Management: Strong preference for deals with some existing management depth or management team in place that I can partner with and grow alongside.
Control: We are looking to acquire a minimum of 51% of the company and preferably the entire business.
Recurring Revenue Component: Looking for deals that have some form of recurring, predictable, or contractual revenue.
Scalable Growth Opportunities: Looking for deals that can scale or have untapped growth potential.
Founder or Family Run: Our approach typically resonates the most with a founder or family run company that is looking for the right long-term home for their business.

Our Acquisition Process

Here’s what the process looks like:

Phase 1

Discovery

Sellers share their information and financials with EquityOne Ventures (EOV) and express interest in an initial discovery call.

With a 7% acceptance rate, this call signals your business’s potential for a successful exit.

During our conversation, EOV delves into your business, exploring its fit for potential acquisition.  Two pivotal questions guide the discussion: What are the seller’s desires, and can EOV meet them?

Phase 2

Valuation Determination

Accurate valuation protects all parties involved in an acquisition

EOV uses a thoughtful approach, considering EBIDTA or SDE multiplied by an industry multiple, along with market data and unique business qualities.

In this vital phase, EOV confirms data supporting your valuation, welcoming any additional insights from business owners

Phase 3

Making an Offer

After EOV evaluates and comprehends the business and establishes a fair valuation, the last step is presenting a fair offer to the business owner.

The offer may involve acquisition, partnership, or a blend of both.

Acceptance of the offer signals a swift closing—within weeks, perhaps even days—bringing efficiency to the process for the business owner.
