SMB owner in Texas looking for investors to help grow through acquisitions

by a searcher from Texas A&M University

The business was started 7 years ago, and I have grown it from 0 to 1.  Looking for capital to help with the next phase of growth. Part of the short-term plan is to acquire complimentary competitors to expand market reach and product offering.  I am currently negotiating with two companies that I approached privately. Capital raise also includes goals to expand inventory, modernized holistic software, increased staff, and warehouse locations. 

Overall vison is to make it a platform to scale and grow in Texas, both in sales and margins. Once systematized, there are additional growth aspects in surrounding states and new markets niches we currently don’t operate in.

I am seeking out long-term investors as the plan is to build and grown.  Send me a DM or email if you are interested in investing and I can provide the pitch deck and more information.

Thanks, Brandon

If you end up using seller-financing or private debt as part of your financing, check out ZimpleMoney.com - great tool for managing notes, automating repayment, and adding transparency.

You can take advantage of SBA debt here to retain as much equity as possible during your growth phase. Equity partners will be super helpful but will command higher returns and if this turns out to be quite successful you will wish you held more ownership. You can even do 100% acquisitions with SBA expansion loans for qualifying acquisitions. You can basically use existing equity on your balance sheet as the hypothetical "down payment" without actually moving any cash.
