Selling your business is personal.

You have a personal relationship with your key employees. You have a personal reputation in your market. For us, working with you to buy your business is also personal because we have our personal capital at stake. We care about key employees staying with the company and we care about preserving the equity of your brand—your reputation—in the market.

Business Owners

We welcome inquiries from business owners who have an interest in partnering with a company with “skin in the game.” If your company needs capital to effect an ownership change or to support growth, call us. We take great satisfaction in creating the right deal for you and for us—that’s the only way it really works out in the long run.

Intermediaries

Intermediaries value Goense Capital Partners because they can count on us for a quick and efficient closing. We are able to deliver on this because we have structured ourselves to be able to make quick decisions—not a lot of cooks in the kitchen—and we have long-term preferential relationships with financing and outside service providers. We are happy to compensate those who introduce us to opportunities as well as to work with those engaged by business owners.
