A clear, confidential path from the first call to the day you hand over the keys, run by the person who will own your business.
Patient, hands-on work. Careful diligence, clear terms and steady operating discipline.
Resilience when conditions change. We plan to hold through good years and lean ones.
On Norway’s west coast, families farmed in summer and fished through winter. Two kinds of work, one steady household. We own businesses the same way, measured in decades, not quarters.
Timing varies by business and financing. What doesn’t vary: you’ll always know where things stand and what comes next.
A confidential introductory call about your goals and timing. We sign an NDA before you share anything.
We learn the business and review the financials together.
A written, non-binding offer with price and terms in plain English.
Confirmatory diligence, lender approval and legal documents, then closing.
You introduce us to your team and key customers and share what you know, at a pace and level of involvement agreed before closing.
Our intent is to keep your team together. We buy businesses because of the people who built them, and we don’t acquire companies planning to cut staff. Over time any business changes, and when it does we’ll make those decisions carefully, with the team in mind.
That’s our strong preference. Your customers know and trust it, and that reputation is part of what we’re buying.
Over time, yes. Longfield is built to own several companies, but we buy one at a time and only when we can give it full attention. Each business keeps its own name, team and identity; Longfield adds long-term ownership, capital and support behind it.
We plan a 3–12 month transition around you, agreed before closing. Some owners step back quickly; others stay longer to introduce us to the team and customers.
Typically a mix of bank or SBA financing, our own capital, investor capital where needed and, in some cases, seller financing. We’ll walk you through the structure before any offer.
Yes. We sign an NDA before you share anything, and we won’t contact your employees, customers or suppliers without your permission.
Every conversation is confidential and carries no obligation. I reply personally, usually within one business day.
