Self-Funded Acquisition Search

We're looking to buy and personally run an established small business.

Brendan & Lindsey Mohler — experienced operators and marketers, ready to take the reins of a business you've spent years building, and carry it forward.

Deal Size $500K – $1M in EBITDA / Seller's Discretionary Earnings
Location NYC, NJ, Eastern PA — or remote-operable
Structure Self-funded. No investor committee, no delays.

A Note From Us

We've wanted to own and run a business together for a long time. Not start one from scratch — take something that already works, that someone else spent years building, and carry it forward with the same care, plus a modern eye for marketing, operations, and growth.

Between the two of us, we've spent our careers leading teams, building brands, running sales and marketing organizations, and modernizing things that have been done the same way for too long. We bring exactly the strengths that many long-tenured owners haven't had time to focus on: content, digital strategy, systems, and negotiation.

We recently welcomed our first child, which has only sharpened why we're doing this — we want to build something lasting, on our own terms, as a family.

What We're Looking For

Our Acquisition Criteria

We're generalists by design — open across industries, focused on the underlying quality of the business rather than the sector it's in.

Financial Profile

  • $500K–$1M in EBITDA or Seller's Discretionary Earnings
  • 3+ years of consistent profitability
  • Recurring or repeatable revenue preferred

Geography

  • Primary focus: NYC, NJ, and Eastern PA
  • Open to remote-operable businesses elsewhere with a strong team already in place

Business Characteristics

  • 10+ years of operating history — not a startup or turnaround
  • No single customer over 15–20% of revenue
  • Fragmented or under-marketed industries where modern strategy adds real value
  • Owner ready for a transition — retirement, no succession plan, or simply ready for what's next

What We Avoid

  • Heavy regulatory or licensing complexity
  • Industries in structural decline
  • Businesses entirely dependent on the current owner's personal relationships, with no transferable systems

Who We Are

Two operators, one search.

We've spent our careers on the marketing and operations side of growing organizations — now we're applying that experience directly to a business of our own.
