How we work with business owners
Every business is different, and so is every owner's situation. Our process is designed to be straightforward, respectful of your time, and completely confidential. From our first conversation to the day we close, we move at your pace and communicate openly every step of the way.
What you can expect from us
A hands-on owner, not a distant investor
I'm the only person you will deal with from day one through the life of the business. Eagle Eye Partners isn't a large private equity firm with revolving doors; you are partnering with a dedicated owner-operator committed to your company's future.
A deal structure that works for you
Every transition is unique. We offer flexible terms and a straightforward process designed to meet your specific financial goals and timing needs, ensuring a smooth transition for you and your family.
​
A commitment to your people and your legacy
Your business is your life’s work. We are committed to protecting your company’s culture, supporting your employees, and ensuring your legacy thrives in the community for decades to come under stable leadership.
OUR PROCESS
From first call to close
A respectful, confidential process designed around your timeline, not ours.
1
Intro call
30–45 MINUTES
We start with a confidential 30–45 minute call. No pressure, no agenda. We want to hear about you and your business: what you've built, what matters to you, and what you're looking for in a transition. No pitch, just an honest conversation.
2
We do our homework
TYPICALLY 2–4 WEEKS
With your permission, we'll review some basic financial and operational information under a confidentiality agreement. This helps us understand your business and come back to you with a preliminary sense of value and structure.
3
We visit your business
IN-PERSON VISIT
We visit your business in person to walk the floor, meet the team, and see the operation firsthand. This is one of the most important parts of our process. It gives us a real feel for the business and gives you the chance to get to know Zac face to face.
4
A clear, fair offer
WITHIN 4–6 WEEKS
If there's mutual fit, we'll put forward a Letter of Intent that clearly outlines price, structure, and the path to close. We're flexible on deal structure and will work to find terms that make sense for you, including seller financing, earnouts, or transition arrangements.
5
Finishing strong
90–120 DAYS TO CLOSE
We finalize legal, financial, and operational diligence with minimal disruption to your business. Our experienced investors and advisors have done this many times, so we move efficiently and close with certainty.
6
A proper handover
POST-CLOSE TRANSITION
After closing, I step into the business full-time. I'll work closely with you during a mutually agreed transition period, learning the business, building relationships with your team and customers, and ensuring continuity. We don't flip businesses. We run them.
How we compare to other options
Choosing who will lead your business forward is the most significant decision a founder can make. While Private Equity or Strategic Acquirers serve different needs, Eagle Eye Partners offers a unique path centered on legacy preservation, team stability, and dedicated owner-operator leadership.
