**Seeking Operating Partner – Acquisition Opportunity (Tire & Service Business, ~$6.7M Revenue)** I’m currently under evaluation on an acquisition opportunity for a well-established tire sales and service business with ~$6.7M in revenue and ~$830K in SDE. The company has a 20+ year operating history, strong reputation, and deep relationships across commercial and agricultural customers. **Why this deal is compelling:** * Durable, non-discretionary demand (fleet, ag, and commercial customers) * Recurring customer base with long-standing relationships * Strong cash flow with clear operational upside * Immediate growth levers (pricing, sales focus, digital presence, product expansion) **Why I’m posting:** The business is operationally intensive and currently owner-reliant. I’m looking to partner with a strong operator who can step into a leadership role and help professionalize and scale the business post-acquisition. **Ideal Partner Profile:** * Experience in automotive, tire, fleet services, distribution, or similar blue-collar/service businesses * Comfortable managing teams, inventory, and day-to-day operations * Sales-oriented, with ability to grow commercial and fleet accounts * Interested in equity ownership and long-term value creation **Deal Structure:** * Acquisition financed through a combination of SBA debt, seller financing, and equity * Meaningful equity participation for the right operating partner * Clear path to scale via add-on acquisitions and operational improvements **My Background:** I come from an M&A and investment background, focused on acquiring and growing small to lower-middle market businesses. If you’re an operator looking to step into ownership or partner on a deal like this, I’d welcome a conversation. Comment to connect.

This is what we do at Five Experts. We match sponsors and searchers with vetted operators for exactly this type of deal, blue-collar service businesses where the operator needs to be hands-on, commercially oriented, and comfortable running a team without a PE support structure behind them. A tire and service business at this size with commercial and ag accounts is a specific operational profile. The right operator has managed field teams, understands fleet relationships, and knows how to grow a commercial account base without the seller in the room. We have operators in our network worth introducing you to. DM me or reach out at redacted and we can move quickly.
