SMB ACQUISITIONS

Resolve is looking to acquire small and medium-sized businesses within the media and communication space.

In the 14th century, Japanese foresters developed a technique called daisugi, which is the practice of growing trees on top of other trees. It’s an unusual way of sustainably creating lumber without cutting down the trees themselves.

These days, business acquisition can bring up stories of professional investors that buy the forest, then cut it all down on a short timeframe and leave, often harming the businesses or talent they acquire. We think that daisugi is a great example of creativity – and sustainable value creation in business too.

CURRENT CRITERIA:

  • Media or communication related
  • Revenue at or near $1.5M–$4M
  • Profit/SDE $300K–$1M
  • US company with either virtual/distributed team or within driving distance of Northeast Ohio.

GOALS:

  • Organic and non-organic (M&A) growth.
  • Sustainable holding instead of short-term flipping or value extraction.
