Creed Investments Do you Own a Birmingham Area Company? Preserve Your Business Legacy by Selling to a Local Operator

📢 Attention Central Alabama Small Business Owners: It is Time to Think About Selling Now!

Did you know that Baby Boomers currently own a staggering 2.34 million businesses across the country? Did you know an estimated 10,000 Baby Boomers retire each day?

If you're a small business owner, it's crucial to start thinking about your succession plan sooner rather than later. Here's why:

📈 The Wealth Transfer Challenge: The impending retirement of Baby Boomers means that a massive transfer of business ownership is about to take place. However, most small-medium size businesses fall into a tricky spot—they are too small for private equity deals, yet too big for most individual buyers. This scenario makes finding the right successor a complex and time-sensitive challenge.

💼 Act Now for a Bright Future: By taking action now, you position your business for a successful transfer of ownership. Avoid the rush, stress, and uncertainties that may come with waiting too long. Starting the process early gives you the time to carefully evaluate potential buyers and make the best decision for your business's future.

Tom is a Birmingham resident, Army veteran, former Chief Operating Officer and he is looking to acquire a succesful business. Tom appreciates your legacy and wants to make a positive impact on the community.

Experienced local Birmingham operations leader seeks to acquire, operate, and keep your business legacy intact.

What I look for in a company:

Net Income: $500K-$2MM

Industries: Open to all industries, however, I have a preference for Home & Business Service Businesses (e.g., HVAC, Plumbing, Septic, Property Management, Pest Control, Self Storage, etc.)

Location: Birmingham, AL or surrounding areas

Reason for Sale: First Generation Owner/Operator. I prefer businesses where the owner is retiring or seeking to exit the industry while leaving their legacy intact

Transferability: Business should have well-documented processes, trained employees, and minimal reliance on the current owner's day-to-day involvement. Smooth transition of ownership is essential

The above are general guidelines I use to evaluate companies.
