FAQs
How does Nine Oaks Partners work with small businesses?
We meet and learn about different small businesses with the goal of partnering with one, great business. If we find that we are a fit for each other, we fully commit by moving to the location of the business and joining your existing team to continue your legacy.
What type of business are you looking for?
We are interested in businesses with a record of growth and annual revenues greater than $3 million and bottom line greater than $1.5 million.
What makes Nine Oaks Partners different?
We are not a PE fund looking to add one company to a portfolio of companies for a quick profit. We are also not a strategic buyer interested in merging your company into an existing company at the risk of losing the personality and culture of your business.
We are an experienced partnership focused on partnering with one business to operate and grow for the long term. Our focus is on preserving the business’ team, mission, and values, and to work with the owner at every stage to make sure it is a good fit. If it is your first time considering a partnership or selling your business, we will guide you at every step and make sure you have full transparency and comfort in the process.
If I were interested in learning more, what does the process look like?
We would love to get to know you better and would:
Set up a call to hear more about your business.
Meet you in person at your business location to continue the conversation
If there seems to be a fit so far, we would submit an LOI (Letter of Interest) and engage in further discussions to evaluate your needs, business performance, and financials to evaluate whether a partnership or acquisition would be the right next step.
What funds do you use to invest in companies?
We are backed by a group of investors who specialize in helping entrepreneurs find and grow great businesses. To learn more about our investors, please check out our About Us page.
