Selling your business

You spent a lifetime building this.
What happens next matters.

Whether you're planning retirement, moving to a new venture, or simply ready to cash out, you'll have plenty of buyers to choose from. Most of them are buying your numbers. I'm interested in your life's work.

When you sell to The Jorgenson Companies, your business keeps its name, your team keeps their jobs, and the standards you set stay in force, because our plan is to hold forever, and everything we own carries our reputation. Your employees become owners alongside us. Your customers shouldn't notice anything except that the business keeps getting better.

And I look for a fair price, not a steal. A deal only works if both sides are glad they did it, this year and in year twenty.

What we look for

Established

A real business with history: proven customers, proven people, proven profits.

Local roots

Indiana and the surrounding Midwest, with a name that means something in its community.

A team worth backing

People who know the work and care about it. They're who we're really buying alongside.

An owner who cares

If you're proud of what you built and picky about who gets it, good. So are we.

How it works

A conversation

No pitch, no pressure, fully confidential. We talk about your business and what you want for it. Many of our best conversations start years before an owner is ready.

Getting to know the business

We do our homework respectfully and quietly. Your team, customers, and competitors won't hear it from us.

A fair, plain offer

A price and structure you can understand without a translator. We like to use seller financing because it keeps more of the value between us, provides you with income over time, and helps support a thoughtful handoff. We're open to whatever structure serves you best.

A transition on your terms

Stay involved as long as you like, or step away on a schedule that respects your plans and your team's stability.

Forever

Your business joins a permanent home. Employee ownership takes root, our shared back office lifts the paperwork burden, and the company keeps compounding, with your name still on it.

Straight answers

What happens to my employees? They keep their jobs, and they become owners. We buy businesses because of the people in them, not despite them.

Will you change the name? No. Your name and reputation are a large part of what we're buying and protecting.

Is this private equity? No. There's no fund, no outside investors to satisfy, and no plan to resell. One buyer, holding forever.

What if I'm not ready yet? Perfect. Talk to us anyway. There's no cost to a conversation, and knowing each other for years before a deal is how the best handoffs happen.

Let's talk — confidentially.

Every conversation stays between us. Reach out whenever you're ready to think out loud.
