We buy to grow,
and we build to last.
Partnering with exceptional business owners to honor their legacy, support their team, scale operations, and deliver long-term value.
What We Are Seeking
We are actively looking to acquire and operate a fundamentally sound, established, privately-held business. Our ideal target criteria:
EBITDA Target
Healthy annual operational earnings with resilient, sustainable historical operating margins (>15%).
Revenue Profile
Highly recurring, re-occurring, or contractually predictable revenue profiles and repeat customer loyalty.
Track Record
Demonstrated multi-year financial history exhibiting steady performance across economic cycles.
Transaction Type
Owners seeking retirement, lifestyle transitions, or wanting to pass daily management to reliable hands.
Market Position
Protected market niche, defensible value proposition, low substitution risk, and low customer concentration.
Team Structure
Engaged middle-management or supervisor tier in place with low employee turnover and strong core culture.
Who We Are
We don't just acquire companies—we honor legacies. We understand that selling your business isn't just a financial transaction; it's the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and responsibility to your employees and community. Our goal is to provide a seamless exit for founders, stepping in with the capital, operational expertise, and care required to steward your business into its next phase of growth.
I founded GCT Industries, LLC, following a successful exit from a 14-year career in the financial services industry, where I served as the Chief Investment Officer of a registered investment advisory firm managing just under $4 billion in client assets. Now, we bring that same level of financial rigor and sophistication to the small-business ecosystem. We combine this institutional background with a deep bench of professionals across a wide range of industries, including change-management experts who have executed leadership transitions and technology transformations at global scales. When you partner with us, you get sophisticated execution, delivered with the personal touch of a local partner.
Whether you are a broker looking for a reliable buyer or a founder ready to discuss your business's future, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
