My name is Ken Kranz. I’m an MBA graduate from Chicago Booth and formerly with JP Morgan Private Bank. I’m pursuing the acquisition of a small, owner-operated business as a long-term owner-operator, not a financial buyer.
At a high level, I’m focused on profitable, stable B2B businesses with recurring or repeat customer demand. I’m particularly interested in essential products or services, including areas such as specialty distribution or business services, though I’m open to adjacent categories that fit the profile below.
Broad criteria:
B2B-focused businesses with defensible niches
$300K–$1M in seller’s discretionary earnings (or equivalent cash flow)
Simple operations with a small team and limited customer concentration
Located in the Midwest or open to a hands-on ownership transition
Sellers who value continuity, legacy, and a thoughtful transition
