How it works

Retiring Owner
Retiring small business owners can confidently transition by selling their businesses to Teamvest, knowing their business stays local and their legacy is carried forward through employee ownership.
Talented Operators
Teamvest recruits capable, mission-driven operators to guide the company forward. Working closely with retiring owners throughout the transition process, operators receive additional support from the broader Teamvest network.


Empowering Employees
Employees earn equity ownership through their ongoing service and share in the company’s growth. With aligned incentives, financial education, and transparent financials, employee owners have a significant impact on their future financial success.
What we're looking for
- True Retirement Sale: The business owner is 50 years or older and is retiring from the industry.
- Consistent Profitability: Seller Discretionary Earnings (SDE) ranging between $250K and $3M in at least three of the last four years.
- Transition Period: The owner agrees to a transition period of six months to streamline handoff and training.
- Ownership: We prefer to work with a single retiring owner but will consider acquisitions involving multiple retiring owners on a case-by-case basis.
