Western Washington · Trade & service businesses

Hand it to people who'll actually run it.

We're two partners buying one trade or service business in Western Washington — to operate for the next 10 to 20 years. Not brokers. Not a fund chasing a quick flip. Operators who'll keep your name, your crew, and your standards intact.

Start a conversation No pitch. Worst case, you get a coffee.
Who we are

Two friends. Four years of Sunday stairs.

For four years we've met every Sunday to climb the stadium stairs together. Somewhere in those climbs we decided to build something of our own — to buy one good business in our corner of Washington and run it for the long haul. We're not in a hurry, and we're not looking to strip anything down. We want to take care of what someone else already built well.

If you've spent decades building a business here, you know it's more than a balance sheet. It's the customers who call you by name, the people on your crew, the reputation you earned one job at a time. That's exactly what we're looking to carry forward.

Matt V.
Partner · Gig Harbor, WA

Spent his career as a co-founder building a startup with friends from high school, and his weekends on a small Gig Harbor homestead. He'll handle the books, systems, and growth so the business keeps running like it should.

Tulane S.
Partner · Sales & the trades

Has spent his career in the trades and in front of customers. He knows the work, knows the people, and knows what it takes to keep a service business busy and well-run.

What we're looking for

One business. The right fit.

Where
Pierce, Kitsap, Mason, Thurston & Lewis counties — and nearby Grays Harbor and Jefferson.
What
Established trade and service businesses.
Size
Roughly $750K to $3M in revenue. Healthy, profitable, and not for sale out of distress.
History
Ten or more years serving the same community, with a customer base that keeps coming back.
Matters most
A crew worth keeping, an owner ready to transition on their own timeline, and a name worth protecting.

If that sounds close to your business, let's talk — even if selling is still years away. The best conversations start long before anyone's ready.

Why sell to us

The buyer you'd want on the other side of the table.

Your people stay

We're buying the team and the relationships, not cutting them. The folks who built this keep their place — and for the ones who want to build something bigger, we have a vision for how the best people earn a real stake in what comes next.

Your name keeps meaning something

We operate the business — we don't fold it into some faceless brand and erase what you built. The reputation stays yours, carried forward.

You transition on your terms

Stay three months, six months, longer if you want it. We learn the business the right way. You're never handed the keys and waved off.

Let's talk

Let's grab a coffee.

Tell us a little about your business, or just say hello. We're not in a rush, and there's no pressure either way.
