For Business Owners
You Built Something Real. What Happens Next Should Reflect That.
CT Acquisitions connects founders of established businesses with serious, well-capitalized buyers…privately, and on your terms. No public listings. No tire-kickers. Just qualified conversations with people who understand what you’ve built.
The Problem
Most Founders Don't Need a Broker. They Need The Right Partner.
Maybe you’ve thought about selling.
Or maybe you just know the business can’t get to the next level the way things are now.
You need capital, or operational support, or a partner who’s done this before.
But the options out there don’t feel right.
Brokers want to list you publicly and take a percentage of your sale price.
Private equity sounds like a world that wasn’t built for you.
And most buyers just want to strip it down and flip it.
We work differently.
CT Acquisitions doesn’t charge you a dime.
We don’t take a cut of your sale.
And we never list or shop your business publicly.
Your employees, your customers, and your competitors won’t know you’re exploring this unless you decide to tell them.
We work with a vetted network of private equity firms, family offices, and search funds who buy businesses to grow them…not gut them.
Whether you’re looking for a full exit, a recapitalization where you take chips off the table and stay involved, or a growth partner who brings capital and operational muscle…we match you with the right fit.
Many offer rollover equity, meaning you take a meaningful payout now and share in the upside as the business grows.
We work alongside our capital partners on every deal, so we only bring you opportunities we genuinely believe in.
There’s no prep work on your end.
No 50 page document to build.
No parade of tire kickers to entertain.
We learn your business through a single conversation, and if there’s a fit, we make one or two introductions.
You move when you’re ready…whether that’s three months or three years. We’ll be here either way.
Our Partner Network
We work with...
40+ capital partners across private equity, family offices, and funded search firms. Our buyers have collectively completed hundreds of acquisitions across home services, industrial services, healthcare, government contracting, and more.
Who We Work With
Established Businesses With Real Revenue and Real History
We typically work with founder-owned or family-owned businesses in the United States & Canada that have been operating for years.
Companies with loyal customers, experienced teams, and strong reputations in their space. These are not startups. These are businesses that work.
Industries we know well:
- Home services — HVAC, plumbing, pest control, landscaping, electrical
- Business and professional services
- Healthcare services
- Industrial and specialty manufacturing
- Specialty distribution and logistics
- Tech-enabled services and B2B software
- Construction-adjacent and facility services
Revenue typically between $3M and $50M, but we’re flexible for the right business. If you’re not sure whether your business qualifies, just reach out. The conversation costs nothing.
Why CT Acquisitions
This Isn’t a Listing Service. We Don't Shop Your Business Around.
Your Business Stays Private
We never publicly list your business, blast your financials, or share your information without your knowledge. Every introduction is targeted, one-to-one, and with your approval.
We Work With Serious Buyers Only
Our capital partners are established private equity firms and family offices with verified track records and available capital. We don’t waste your time with unqualified interest.
We Speak Your Language
Most intermediaries talk deal structures and multiples. We talk about what you built, what your team needs, what your customers expect, and what the right outcome looks like for you.
No Cost to You
We’re compensated by the buy-side. There’s no retainer, no listing fee, and no obligation. If a deal doesn’t happen, you owe us nothing.
Common Questions
Honest Answers to What You’re Probably Thinking
Are you a business broker?
No. We don’t list businesses for sale or represent sellers in a traditional sense. We work as a sourcing partner to a small group of institutional buyers. When we connect you with a buyer, it’s because your business genuinely fits what they’re looking for…not because we’re trying to generate activity.
Will my employees, customers, or competitors find out?
Not through us. Confidentiality is foundational to how we operate. We don’t publish business details, and we don’t share information without your explicit approval.
I’m not sure I want to sell. Can we still talk?
Absolutely. Many of the business owners we speak with are just exploring. Some end up selling. Some don’t. Either way, it’s a useful conversation to have…even if the timing isn’t right today.
How is this free for me?
Our capital partners compensate us when a deal closes. There’s no fee to you at any stage. If nothing happens, nothing is owed.
What kind of buyer will I be talking to?
Typically a private equity firm or family office that acquires or partners with businesses in your industry. These are experienced operators who’ve done this before and understand how to work with founders through a transition.
What happens to my employees after a sale?
This is one of the first things we discuss with partners. Most of our capital partners want to retain the existing team…your people are part of what makes the business valuable. We make sure this is on the table from day one.
About
Built by Someone Who Respects What You’ve Built
We started CT Acquisitions because too many good businesses get overlooked or get bad advice when the owner starts thinking about what’s next.
We grew up around tradespeople.
We’ve worked with operating businesses and institutional capital.
We know what it takes to build something from nothing and we know what it looks like when the wrong buyer gets involved.
CT Acquisitions was built to be the partner we wished existed for founders: someone who tells it straight, protects your privacy, and connects you with buyers who will treat your business…and your people..the right way.
