Forthline Partners is looking to partner with a small to mid-sized business owner who is seeking an opportunity for both liquidity and succession planning for their business. 

​

Upon completing an acquisition, Forthline Partners will take an operating role in the business with the intent of maintaining the business’s culture, reputation, and legacy; and will look to propel the business through its next phase of growth. ​

​

We are different from traditional strategic or private equity buyers who maximize short-term returns through cost-reductions, complex financial engineering and culture impairment.

​

We bring a long-term, growth-oriented mindset, and provide a more compelling (founder-friendly & flexible) exit alternative for business owners who are considering retirement or taking a reduced role in their day to day operations. We are flexible, based on your desire to remain involved in the business, post-acquisition.
