A Permanent Home for Industrial Businesses

Long-term capital for the industrial businesses that built America.

Industrial Legacy Partners is an independent investment vehicle acquiring one outstanding industrial business. Pre-qualified, patient, and owner-operator focused. We are not a private equity fund. We are not a strategic. We are not a flipper. We are a long-term home for owners ready to pass on what they built.

Our Approach

A different posture toward the businesses we acquire.

Most lower-middle-market buyers treat businesses as short-term assets to be flipped, stripped, or merged. We take a different posture: long horizon, hands-on operating commitment, and creative deal structures tailored to the seller's goals.

01

Patient Capital

No exit deadline. No requirement to flip. We invest to hold, operate, and grow for decades, not quarters. Seller legacy is preserved because preserving it is the plan.

02

Owner-Operator Commitment

The principal works in the business after close. No integration into a larger entity. A thoughtful approach to taking the business to its next stage.

03

Pre-Qualified Buyer

Well-capitalized buyer. SBA financing is pre-qualified. We can issue an Indication of Value within three days of CIM receipt and an LOI within one week. We close on the seller's preferred timeline.

What We Look For

Acquisition criteria.

We focus on a specific kind of business — durable, profitable, and not dependent on the founder to run day to day. Below is what fits the search.

Financial Profile

  • EBITDA $1.25M – $2.5M
  • $5M+ in revenue
  • Enterprise value up to $12M

Business Characteristics

  • Recurring or contractual revenue
  • Capital-light
  • Low customer concentration
  • Low cyclicality

Industry & Geography

  • Industrial distribution or manufacturing preferred
  • US-based operations
  • NYC or LA metro areas preferred
Process

A straightforward four-step path.

Selling a business is a high-stakes decision. We respect that by moving deliberately, communicating clearly, and never asking for more from a seller than the stage of the conversation warrants.

01

Introduction

An email or contact-form note initiates the conversation. NDA executed within 24 hours. Initial response from the principal within one business day.

02

Preliminary Review

Within three days of CIM or teaser receipt, written feedback on fit and an Indication of Value range if the business is a match.

03

Letter of Intent

Within one week of preliminary review, a written LOI covering price, structure, financing path, diligence scope, and timeline.

04

Closing

Sixty to one hundred twenty days from signed LOI, depending on diligence scope and financing complexity. Transition support agreed up front, not negotiated late.

For Brokers & M&A Advisors

A buyer that responds, reads CIMs, and closes.

We know the lower-middle-market broker community is overrun with unqualified buyers. We make it easy to triage us as one of the credible ones.

Full success fees, as marketed

We pay the success fee posted in the engagement. No re-trades. No carve-outs at the closing table.

We read every CIM

Written feedback on every CIM that fits our screen, within three days. Pass or proceed — no ghosting.

Pre-qualified, SBA-ready

Lender pre-qualification letter available on request. Capital secured. No financing-contingency surprises.

References available

Lender, attorney, and accountant references provided after first call. Process is transparent and well-resourced.
