We Keep the "Family" in Business
At Marrello Corporation, We understand the sacrifices made and the time spent building your business into what it is today. We know that an enduring business carries with it a legacy and core values that define the business. These values must be safeguarded and maintained for the family legacy, dedicated employees and loyal customers.
What we are looking for
A defined buy box, not a wide net.
$500K to $1.25M SDE
Established businesses with low capital expenditure needs and a history of positive cash flow.
Niche manufacturing and B2B services
Engineered products and product plus service hybrids. Not consumer facing, not software.
Illinois and Indiana
The Illinois and Indiana industrial corridor and the Chicago suburbs.
Why owners sell to us
We are operators, not a fund.
We eat our own cooking.
We are not a private equity group investing other people's money. We invest our own cash in every deal.
We are builders, not flippers.
A buy and hold mentality lets us make decisions that are right for the company in ten years, not right for a sale in three.
Your team keeps its equity.
We strive for management and key employees to own a minimum of 20% of the company.
Your team keeps making the calls.
A decentralized operating structure means decisions get made by the people closest to the local market.
Thinking about what comes next for your business?
Talk to me directly. Every conversation stays confidential, and there is no obligation.
I work with brokers and intermediaries, and I respond to every inquiry personally.
