For Sellers
You built something worth keeping.

What we look for.
We have a narrow focus. That means when it fits, we move fast.

East Coast U.S.
We focus on markets we know and can operate in — Northeast through the Mid-Atlantic.
Property type
Hotels & Motels
Independent and franchise properties. Budget to mid-scale. We know hospitality.
EBITDA / SDE
$500K – $5M
We target platform companies with real cash flow and room to grow.
How the process works.
From first call to close in a matter of weeks — not months.
01
Introduction call
A no-pressure conversation about your business, your goals, and your timeline.
02
Business review
We look at the financials, the operations, and the opportunity. We'll be honest about what we see.
03
Letter of intent
If there's a fit, we move fast. We issue an LOI within 30 days of our first conversation.
04
Close & transition
We bring in a new operator, keep your team in place, and begin modernizing. You walk away on your terms.
Things owners ask us.
Will the business I built survive?
We acquire hotels to keep them running — not to flip them, harvest the cash, or shut them down. Our model depends on these businesses thriving for decades.
What happens to my employees?
Your team keeps their jobs. And over time, we sell them equity. The people who built the business get a real shot at owning a piece of it.
Will I get a fair price?
We work with top brokers and lenders to structure deals at fair market value. We're not bottom-feeders looking for a steal — we want a transaction that works for both sides.
What if I'm not ready yet?
That's fine. Most of our best conversations happen 2–3 years before an owner is ready to exit. The earlier we talk, the better we can prepare the business — and the higher the value at close.
Ready to have a conversation?
No obligation. Just a conversation about what you built and what comes next.
