Family Office Seeks to Acquire an Essential Services or Manufacturing Business in the Mid-Atlantic

This family office is seeking to acquire a stable, well-established business with long-term growth potential. With a strong background in entrepreneurship, healthcare acquisitions, and venture capital, the buyer brings extensive experience in scaling and sustaining companies. Their focus areas include essential services such as waste management, coin laundry, and infrastructure services, as well as light manufacturing businesses that serve—or have the potential to serve—U.S. government contracts.

In this video, the buyer shares his professional journey from launching his first startup at Yale to building a successful healthcare company with his father. He discusses what drives his investment philosophy, the importance of honesty and integrity in relationships, and his desire to find a business he can steward for decades to come. His approach combines curiosity, persistence, and respect for the legacy of existing business owners.

Whether you're considering a sale or just exploring options, Calder Capital matches business owners with serious buyers who appreciate the legacy they've built.
