Founders Trust closes in any economic environment.

Exits are the most important of every business owner’s successes

You see it in the news every day: the majority of acquisitions fall out of contract. We believe it should be different.

90% to 95% of private companies under $30 million never sell. We exist to be a different buyer.

Founders Trust is a Reliable Transaction Partner™ and always closes, no matter what the stability of the economic environment.
