You've built something meaningful, and now you're thinking about what comes next. At SHFT, we offer a thoughtful transition: real liquidity, hands-on leadership, and a long-term commitment to your people and community.
"The right buyer isn't just someone who can write the check. It's someone who understands what you've built."
"We're not a private equity firm looking to flip your company in five years. We're operators looking to run and grow one exceptional business . Yours."
We're searching for an established business to acquire and continue to grow. While we have specific preferences, we're open to exploring all opportunities that fit these general criteria.
A business with at least 3 to 5 years of operating history, consistent revenue, and a loyal customer base demonstrates real durability.
We look for businesses generating sustainable cash flow, typically $500K to $3M in EBITDA, that fund continued investment and growth.
Whether through relationships, reputation, or product quality. A business with a real competitive moat in its local or niche market.
We work best with owners who want a thoughtful, confidential transition and who care about what happens to their business and team after the sale.
SHFT Holdings is led by a single entrepreneur with extensive operating, investing, and M&A experience. You'll deal with one decision maker. After the transaction, your company will be operated independently with the care and attention it deserves.
No committees, no red tape. One dedicated operator means faster decisions and a straightforward transaction process.
We don't roll businesses into platforms or strip them for parts. Your company continues to run and grow on its own terms.
Backed by significant capital and serious operational experience, we're here for the long haul, not a quick flip.
We honor the relationships you've built: your team, your customers, and your community. That's a commitment, not a platitude.
We've developed a streamlined approach that respects your time and ensures complete confidentiality throughout the entire transaction.
A no-obligation call to understand your goals, your business, and whether there's a mutual fit. Completely confidential.
We review basic financial information under NDA. No brokers, no committees. Just us.
If there's a fit, we move quickly to a clear, straightforward letter of intent with our proposed terms.
A focused, time-bound diligence process, thorough, but designed not to disrupt your operations.
We close efficiently and work with you on a transition plan that ensures continuity for your team and customers.
Whether you're actively considering a sale or just curious about your options, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
Our AI assistant is available 24/7 to answer questions about our process, what we look for, and how a sale might work for your situation. No forms. No waiting. Just a conversation.
