Fast Growing Apparel Company Looking to Partner with a SearchFunder

Hi everyone,

We have US-based apparel company that we grew from ~$80k a mo in Nov 2018 to $1M+ a month by May of###-###-#### It's doing around $750k a month right now. The original founders are in-place but the asset is too big for them to manage and we do not have the internal bandwidth to tackle re-hiring/building out the co more. To be frank it's one of our smaller holdings so allocating more time into it doesn't make sense.

What we'd like to do is partner with a searcher who can put real skin in the game. Buy out the original founders, provide us with some level of liquidity, etc... We can be very flexible for the right searcher with real experience in the industry.

The deal has a bit of hair on it, but nothing overly complex. Please reach out via email to --@----.com  and we can take things from there. The right partner will have substantial DTC or eCommerce experience + work history in apparel.

I think most searchers are (mostly) using debt to finance their transaction, and in my experience, high growth companies aren't the best LBO candidates as the free cash flow goes back into operations (working cap, inventory, ar/ap). How much free cash flow is available and is there consistent distribution?
