How we Partner
Selling or transitioning a business is one of the most significant decisions a founder or long-time owner can make. At SPEC, we understand the emotional, financial, and strategic considerations that come with this decision. Our unique approach provides a supportive, values-driven pathway for those seeking to transition ownership while ensuring their company’s future remains bright and aligned with the legacy they’ve worked hard to build.
- SPEC’s commitment: SPEC values the legacy that has been built by each company we acquire. We make a commitment to owners to preserve that legacy, support employees, emphasize long-term, sustainable growth, provide a flexible transition plan, and offer experience and expertise through the deal process.
- SPEC’s approach: SPEC has a deep expertise in transition processes. We use this expertise and work closely alongside sellers to ensure the transition is aligned with goals, and the business is well-positioned to succeed and grow for years to come.
How does SPEC Invest?
Our investment strategy is built on patient capital, sustainable growth, and disciplined evaluation. We focus on well-established, resilient businesses with strong fundamentals, where our experience and resources can accelerate growth and ensure lasting stability.
- Operational focus: Longstanding businesses with strong reputations, relationships, and people.
- Financial considerations: Typically, companies with stable and predictable cashflows, and EBITDA of at least $1.5 million.
- Industry considerations: Traditional industries with predictable growth, stable demand, and low cyclicality.
