For Brokers

A long-term, operator-led foundation
SIG Partners was built on the belief that enduring businesses are created through patience, discipline, and hands-on experience. As a family-owned holding company, we acquire businesses to own and operate for the long term.
We partner with owners and leaders who value stability for their teams and customers, and we focus on continuity over transactions. Our approach is shaped by operating experience and a commitment to thoughtful, long-term stewardship.

Why brokers work with SIG

Certainty of close
We deploy committed capital from our founding partners. There is no fund to raise, no investment committee to convince, and no financing contingency. Once we sign an LOI, we close.
Proven track record
More than 35 successful ownership transitions across multiple industries and states. Our founding partners are small business owners themselves and understand what is at stake for your clients.


Preservation of legacy
We retain every employee at closing. We keep the brand name. We do not restructure operations, reduce headcount, or pursue short-term cost-cutting. Our structure is designed to protect what your client spent years building.
Permanent ownership
SIG is not private equity. We have no exit timeline and no outside investors. Every business we acquire becomes part of a permanent portfolio. That means your seller's company is never going back on the market.


Speed and clarity
We provide prompt evaluations and straightforward communication throughout the process. Our team is experienced, responsive, and built to move at the pace your deal requires.
Our acquisition criteria

Financial profile
$1M+ in annual cash flow. Stable or modestly growing year over year. Financials should be tax return provable.

Ownership
The owner is ready to transition out of day-to-day operations.

Industry and business model
Mature, high-quality service businesses. Non-cyclical. No major customer concentration. No large project-based revenue models. Founder-owner led.

Transition
The owner is open to a transition period of 90 days at mutually agreeable terms. This allows us to place an experienced CEO and ensure a smooth handoff.

Real estate
We consider both multi-year leases and real estate purchases on a case-by-case basis.
