Sell Your Business
If you built it, we'll keep it built.
Strata Partners buys exceptional service businesses across Arizona — specialty trades, field and light industrial, and commercial services. We're operators, not financiers. One of our principals recently exited a service business inside one of our anchor specialties; we have seen the post-close playbook of conventional rollups firsthand, and we are built different. We hold what we buy. We don't flip, we don't fire, and we don't change the name on the door.
What We Promise
Stewardship, not extraction.
You spent 20, 30, sometimes 40 years building something real. The wrong buyer can undo that in 18 months. We are the right buyer for owners who want their legacy to outlast them.
Your name stays on the door.
We do not rebrand the businesses we buy. The reputation you built in Gilbert, Mesa, or Glendale is the asset. We protect it.
Your team keeps their jobs.
We are operators. We don't run a layoff playbook. Key employees stay, often with equity. Your crews keep their routes, their tools, and their customers.
We don't flip.
Strata Partners has zero exit events planned. Ever. We hold forever. That means the person you sell to is the person who answers the phone in 2040.
We don't strip-mine.
We don't load businesses with debt and pull dividends. Cash flow stays in the company to fund growth, technology, and your team's wages.
Why This Is Different
Operators, not financiers.
Both Strata principals have built and exited Arizona service businesses. One of us recently sold a service company inside one of our anchor specialties to a PE-backed strategic — and watched firsthand what happens to a brand, a team, and a customer base after that kind of close.
That is the experience that built this firm. We are structured with permanent capital specifically so we don't have to do to other owners what was done to us. No fund clock. No exit timeline. No pressure to engineer a 5-year flip.
What Selling Looks Like
Roughly 90 days, on your terms.
Most owners we talk to have never sold a business before. Here's the path, plainly.
Step 01 · Week 1
Confidential intro call
A 45-minute conversation. We sign an NDA on request before anything else. No financials shared until you're comfortable.
Step 02 · Week 2–3
Preliminary range
If there's mutual interest, we present a preliminary valuation range within 2 weeks. No surprises, no fee letters, no obligation.
Step 03 · Week 4–8
Quiet diligence
We review books, talk to a small set of people you choose, and walk the shop. Discreet. Your customers and competitors never know.
Step 04 · Month 3
Closing
SBA-backed financing closes the deal. You stay on for 6–12 months in a transition role of your choosing. Or shorter if you prefer.
Confidential at every step. No finder's fees. No fee letters. No obligation to continue at any stage.
Honest Disclosure
When we're not the right buyer.
We'd rather tell you upfront than waste a quarter of your time. If any of these sound like you, talk to a different kind of buyer first — and come back if it doesn't work out.
The Day After
What happens after closing?
The most common question we get from owners. The honest answer: not much that you'll notice from the outside.
Same trucks. Same logos.
Your brand is the asset. We don't put a parent company sticker on it.
Same crew. Better tools.
Your team keeps their routes and their relationships. We layer in modern back-office, dispatch, voice agents, and predictive systems — only where they help.
Same neighborhood feel.
We're an Arizona company. Decisions get made by people who live here, not a fund 2,000 miles away.
“We're not in a hurry, you don't need a banker, and the conversation is yours to end at any time.”
Start a Conversation
Confidential. No obligation. We sign an NDA on request.
If you run a service, trades, or specialty business in Arizona and you're thinking about what comes next, we'd welcome the conversation. We respond to every inquiry within 48 hours — usually the same day.
