What Happens Next
At Scariff Holdings, we take a hands-on, partnership approach to acquiring and growing small businesses. We prioritize long-term sustainability, integrity, and preserving the legacy of the owners we work with.
1. What we look for
We look for companies with a loyal customer base, tenured employees, and a history of consistent cash flow.
2. Acquisition Criteria
We focus on acquiring stable, service-based businesses with strong reputations and recurring revenue. Our ideal partners typically fall within the following industries:
Accounting & Financial Services
Professional Services (e.g., consulting, compliance, back-office operations)
Business Support Services (e.g., IT, HR, admin solutions)
Light Manufacturing or Logistics with B2B contracts
While these are our core areas of interest, we’re always open to adjacent industries where we can bring meaningful operational support and long-term value. Send us an email, we’d be happy to start a conversation.
3. A Focused Fit Matters
We want to be the right partner—not just any buyer. While we focus on service-based and B2B businesses, we’re typically not a match for retail, food service, or early-stage startups. That said, if you’re unsure whether your business fits, we’re always happy to have a quick conversation.
How We Assess Every Opportunity
- Initial Screening: Initial review of revenue, expenses, cash flow and key business aspects.
- Valuation & Offer: Our team will make an evaluation of your business. If it fits our criteria, we will submit an offer.
- Due Diligence: We will conduct a detailed 90-day review of the business, its operations, systems, finances and other key aspects.
- Closing: We will handle the legal and financial process of closing the deal.
- Transition: We will collaborate closely with owners and teams to ensure a smooth transition.
