OUR STORY

For as long as she can remember...

Our co-founder Jamie’s parents have fought to sustain their business. Over 45 years, they’d built a stable home remodeling practice, but their retirement plan was to work until their bodies called it quits.

And things weren’t as stable as they seemed: plenty of jobs were losing money, and they didn’t have a growth plan, let alone a plan to someday find a buyer.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and our communities

But a lot of talented entrepreneurs never actually get around to running one. The fact is, whether you're selling your business or buying one for the first time, it’s hard to know where to start.
