For Owners

Why partner with Brightleaf Holdings?

We designed Brightleaf Holdings to be the ideal permanent home for small businesses and their teams. Here are a few of the commitments we make to our partners.

Culture and Legacy

We understand that selling your business is more than a transaction. It is a life transition where people, culture, and legacy must be honored. We commit to operating with integrity so you are proud that you partnered with us.

Deep Experience

We are experienced acquirers and small business leaders. Trust that we will be professional, confidential, and move quickly during the transaction process. Post-closing, you will be proud that your company continues to be well-run.

Fair Value

We respect that owners put their lives into their businesses and think they deserve fair, full valuations for their businesses. We don’t waste time making “low ball” offers or trying to short-change our partners.

About Brightleaf Holdings?

We are trusted partners to small business owners seeking to transition their business to the next generation of leaders.

Brightleaf Holdings is a holding company that acquires and grows small businesses over the long-term. We own a group of companies and reinvest the earnings they generate to grow our operating companies and acquire new ones.

We have invested in over a dozen small business acquisitions and understand what it takes to close transactions and transition leadership. Our team includes small business leaders who are well-prepared to step into the CEO role post-closing.
