What We Look For in a Business
We look for rare companies. Profitable, proven, purpose-built. Not perfect companies—real ones. Built by founders who still care, still show up, and still believe there’s more to do.
We’re not looking for volume. We’re looking for the rare kind of business that lasts.
- $1M–$50M in annual revenue
- $100K–$10M in EBITDA
- Proven operating history (3+ years)
- Sticky or recurring revenue
- A business model that’s easy to understand
- A leadership team with heart, grit, and integrity
- U.S.-based or serving U.S. customers
- Industries we love: SaaS, insurance, services, and the kind of “boring” businesses that quietly win
We care about your numbers. But what moves us is what they don’t show.
The trust you’ve earned
Reputation isn’t something you buy. It’s built one customer, one promise, one hard day at a time.
The people you’ve brought with you
We notice the team that shows up early, solves hard problems, and still believes in the mission.
Why you’re here now
Everyone’s got a reason for exploring this path. We want to hear yours.
Whether we deserve to carry it forward
We don’t buy businesses we can’t steward. If we can’t protect what you’ve built, we’ll walk away.
What you can expect from us
A real conversation
No pitch decks. No pressure. Just thoughtful questions.
Respect for your time and team
You won’t need to prep slides or wrangle your whole org.
A clear answer
If we’re not a fit, we’ll tell you early and respectfully.
We can move fast, but we don’t rush people. You’ll set the pace. We’ll meet you there.
Questions founders actually ask
Tesani is a purpose-driven holding company that acquires and builds enduring businesses with exceptional people. We provide permanent capital, strategic guidance, and cultural alignment — not control. Like Berkshire Hathaway, we believe in owning forever, compounding patiently, and building an ecosystem where values and performance thrive together.
Do I need a banker or broker to work with Tesani?
Not at all. We regularly speak directly with founders. If you already have an advisor, we’re happy to work with them too.
Will I be required to stay after the sale?
In many cases, founders stay involved, but we design transitions based on what’s best for you and the business. We build for flexibility, not control.
Will you change our brand or team?
Not unless there’s a clear reason to. Our goal is to support what’s already working, not to rip and replace.
How fast can you move?
We’ve closed deals in under 60 days. It depends on the deal, but we aim to be efficient and respectful of your time.
Do you only buy in specific industries?
We’re especially interested in recurring-revenue businesses in SaaS, services, and insurance. That said, we’re always open to great companies that fall outside the usual box.
Let’s talk. We’d rather have a conversation than make you guess.
