I'm looking for a ~$500M - $1.5M SDE business within 2-3 hours of metro Denver. I have a background as a strategy consultant where I focused on private equity commercial diligence and post-acquisition go-to-market strategy. My target business has a solid foundation with low turnover and recurring revenue but growth has stagnated. This business provides a physical service to the local Denver market, allowing me to leverage my own track record of community relationship-building and people management. I am exploring businesses across industries.

Firms in the Business Services Search Funds directory are ordered based on recent deal activity on Axial. The default order reflects observed market signals rather than a subjective ranking of firm quality.

Each profile provides information about the firm’s areas of focus, transaction criteria, and relevant activity on Axial’s M&A platform. Together, these details provide a clearer view of where a firm is active and the types of companies and opportunities most relevant for it.

Based on activity on Axial’s M&A platform, the core revenue range for Business Services Search Funds is $3M-$12M, with a core EBITDA range of $500K-$2M. Company size can be an important indicator of fit, as firms often concentrate their experience, resources, and transaction activity within particular segments of the market.

Relevant Business Services experience can be an important consideration when evaluating a firm. Familiarity with the sector can provide a stronger understanding of its business models, market dynamics, valuation considerations, and transaction environment. The 1,848 firms included in this directory provide a starting point for identifying firms with relevant experience and activity in Business Services.

Not necessarily. Many firms are active across multiple industries, so inclusion in the Business Services Search Funds directory reflects relevant experience or activity in Business Services, rather than an exclusive sector focus. Individual profiles provide additional context on each firm’s areas of focus and activity within the sector.

When comparing Search Funds with experience in Business Services, consider factors such as size range, geographic reach, and recent transaction activity. These characteristics vary across the 1,848 firms included in the directory and can help identify firms that align with your needs.

Axial can help you identify and connect with firms based on your objectives and what you are looking to accomplish. The process varies depending on your role and transaction needs.
