The Process

Three steps, no surprises

Most owners spend more time deciding to sell than actually selling. Once you're ready, here's exactly what happens.

01

Confidential First Call

A 20-minute call, no obligation. Tell us about the business, we'll tell you honestly if it's a fit. Nothing leaves this conversation without an NDA.

02

A Funded, Written Offer

We're not raising capital after you say yes, we already have it. Expect a written offer within two weeks and diligence built to close on schedule, not stall.

03

A Transition, Not a Teardown

We step in personally to run day-to-day, keep your team in place, and protect the reputation you spent years earning.

Our Buy Box

A specific filter, not a wide net

This is the actual criteria we screen against, not a general "we buy small businesses" pitch. If a listing fails it, we'll say so in ten seconds.

Why It's Different

Not every buyer wants the same thing

Most owners never stop to ask what actually happens after the wire clears. Here's the honest comparison.

Traditional Private Equity

  • Installs outside management, institutional knowledge walks out the door
  • Bought on a 3–5 year hold, built to be resold
  • Headcount and costs cut to hit a return target
  • Decisions go through an investment committee
  • Relationships with staff, customers, and community are transactional, if maintained at all
  • Growth capped by the fund's return timeline, not the business's real potential

Red Rose Capital

  • The buyer steps in personally, the people who run the business stay
  • No exit clock. Bought to run, not to flip
  • One funded buyer decides, no committee, no delay
  • Direct, ongoing relationships with the team, customers, and community
  • Resources and hands-on support for sustainable growth, on the business's own timeline

Who's Behind This

Backed by real capital and real expertise

This isn't a solo bet. Here's the network behind the acquisition.

Capital Investors

A group of investors with a non-binding commitment to fund the right deal.

  • Proof of funds letter available on request
  • Funded deal by deal, not tied to a fund-cycle clock

Acquisition Support Team

SBA-experienced lenders, accountants, and lawyers guiding the process.

  • SBA 7(a) financing expertise
  • Accounting and legal diligence, deal structuring, and closing support

Advisor Network

Experienced executives and active ETA professionals.

  • Cross-industry operating experience
  • Practical guidance from fellow searchers and operators
