Independent Buyer

Sell your business, preserve and protect your people.

We are a people-first alternative to Private Equity.

We acquire and run private businesses. We give owners fair market value for their life’s work.

What makes us unique

Protect your people

We reinvest cash flow back into the business to grow, creating career opportunities for employees and offering equity for what they build. Our approach is preservation, doubling down on what already works. There are no quick flips.

Owner-operator led

We run your company day-to-day and are 100% dedicated, there is no portfolio. Retired CEOs join the board. Our horizon is 5-10+ years to incentivize thoughtful, sustainable growth.

Proven results

A 3x business builder with Fortune 500 expertise and successful exits will lead your team through organic growth, embracing technology to reduce manual work.

Benefits to employees

  • Growth creates jobs, and we value your team’s expertise. We celebrate internal promotions to preserve your unique right to win and the company’s culture.

  • We offer employee ownership to motivate the team to win together.

  • We step in as CEO, giving your team consistent, day-to-day leadership with a clear strategy from Day 1. There are no quick flips. It doesn’t work.

  • We invest in technology to make adding customers seamless and to keep them exceptionally happy. We learned this firsthand from our experience growing $1 to $10 billion in 5 years before starting Next Haven Group.
