I'm Ben Nolan, founder of FORMAFLO. I built a specialty industrial flooring company that serves JBS, Cargill, Tyson, Smithfield, Kraft Heinz, and 20+ other major food processors. $5.2M revenue, all bootstrapped, zero outside capital. We install proprietary resin flooring systems in FDA/USDA-regulated food processing facilities###-###-#### hour installation window, competitors take 1-2 weeks. Fewer than 10 notable competitors nationally, no dominant brand. Raising $1.5M in preferred equity. Capital goes to retiring high-interest debt, bulk material procurement (international sourcing at 1/5 domestic cost), logistics investment, and key hires to break the founder bottleneck. Every dollar has quantifiable ROI. Not looking to sell. Looking for a strategic equity partner who understands physical operations businesses. Happy to share a one-pager and financials with serious inquiries."

It sounds like you have built a great company. I understand the desire for equity to grow. However, if you have strong cash flow today, have you thought about a debt restructure and borrowing the working capital? That would allow you to retain more of the business. Happy to have a discussion if there is an interest. You can reach me here or directly at redacted Good luck.
