I’m an experienced small business operator and long-time corporate leader who is looking for a trades business in Northeast Ohio. Would consider a partnership in a deal over $10m and solo under $5m. In between could go either way.

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. Always happy to talk about the financing piece. With the SBA you can get a deal done with 10% down or as little as 5% down. We can also walk you through the different licensing requirements, which is the single most important item for these types of deals. We have a lot experience financing trades businesses via the SBA. If you ever need help reviewing a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pay us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min. Look forward to chatting!

Kevin, you mentioned trades, so including a search of all HVAC businesses in Cleveland here: https://app.dealdogs.ai/search?share=oa1qY5RI4uZl3R87zQ3s7AYNILhqmTsZ (note: desktop only). You could filter this based on your deal criteria, get owner contact info and run similar searches for other trades industries and cities in NE Ohio. In addition, I'm connected with a couple intermediaries that focus on your geography, so happy to put you in touch. Hope this helps and shoot me a DM if you want to connect or have any questions!
