**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.
