We work with investment banks and intermediaries
For business owners who are already ready to sell – and to either retire, or stay on doing only the part that they love, not the parts they hate.

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.
