FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
Southeast Acquisition Capital was founded to provide business owners with an exit strategy and a succession strategy at the same time. We develop long-term relationships with business owners and approach the transition process as a true partnership.
​
When planning exit and succession strategies, business owners in the middle market face two primary challenges:
​
-
Capital may be scarce as institutional investors prefer larger transactions.
-
Smaller buyers may not have a network of operators prepared to succeed the business owner.
​
Southeast Acquisition Capital addresses these challenges by providing business owners both a market for their business and an operator to manage the business after the owner's departure.​ We also structure our investments to allow for all employees of the company to participate in future value creation.
​
If you would like learn more about our approach and how we may be able to help with your business transition, we would love to hear from you. Please, contact us.
