Disciplined Investing
01

Recurring Revenue

Over 50% of revenue is recurring or repeat. No single customer exceeds 5% of total revenue.

02

Proven Profitability

Positive EBITDA for 3+ consecutive years, with 15–20%+ margins and free-cash-flow-positive operations.

03

Operational Independence

Business operates without the owner. Documented processes, financial reporting, and a management layer in place.

04

Clear Value Levers

Professionalizable operations, pricing power, and a path to expanded enterprise value over 3–10 years.

Four ways we work together.

We structure deals to protect downside, align incentives, and create long-term value for all parties.

Leveraged Buyouts

Controlling acquisitions with a disciplined mix of equity and debt.

Strategic Combinations

Merging complementary businesses to create operational or commercial synergies.

Consulting for Equity

Equity-based partnerships where strategic support accelerates growth.

Transaction Advisory

Select mandates connecting buyers and sellers with clean execution.

Business meeting
Serious partnerships only.
“We are interested only in serious businesses, serious partnerships, and clean transactions.”
— Bob Milos, Founder & Managing Partner, Westhowe Holdings
We prefer sellers motivated by succession, liquidity, or growth — not distress. Transitions are structured over 6–18 months with defined responsibilities and phased handover.

We do not pursue turnarounds, pre-profit businesses, or companies with unresolved legal or regulatory issues.
