I am an entrepreneur looking to buy a small business in Eastern or Central Pennsylvania. My intent is to operate the company full-time and for the long haul. I am searching for a healthy business managed by an owner who is ready for a transition or retirement. My hope is this will be someone I can work with and learn from over a period of months following closing while I prepare to protect their business legacy.

New Falls Capital is a search fund with the focus of acquiring 1 small/mid sized business that I will own and operate. As opposed to private equity or a strategic buyer, I offer business owners an alternative succession plan which would involve me holding their company for the long term and preserving their legacy (in addition to keeping most if not all other employees in their roles as-is). New Falls Capital is focused on acquisitions on the East Coast within b2b/g services, healthcare, and tech-enables services. Website: newfallscapital.com
I am searching for an acquisition target. I hold degrees in Chemical Engineering and Business (MBA). I have significant operating experience for large and small firms. I plan to use personal capital along with friends and family money to buy a business outright.
