Wishing you all a Happy Easter 🥚🐰

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 33 million small businesses in America. They employee nearly half of the country. And baby boomers own nearly half of the countries small businesses.

Small business investing serves not only the investors, but the employees and communities in which they operate, creating jobs, preserving local economies, and sustaining the essential businesses that people rely on every day.

Sly Buford, CEO and founder of Tenth Street Group mentioned in a South Florida Business Journal interview a few years back that the competition for small business acquisitions was low.

We believe the landscape has changed significantly over the years as institutional PE firms look to compete for small acquisitions.

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and a successful 2026! 🎊🎉

Small businesses serve as the most important pillar to the American economy.

They create the most jobs, lead charge in innovation, and fuel local economies.

We’re not talking small businesses in terms of your local coffee shop. We’re talking about the metal fabrication company that employees 150 people doing $35m in revenue. The building products supplier doing $50m in revenue. The wholesale paper and packaging supplier that provides 100 jobs.

These are the small businesses that pour back in to the American economy.

We all have a lot to be thankful for. Be sure to take a moment to reflect on it all. Happy thanksgiving! 🦃🍂
