Frequently asked questions
How does Teamshares source its acquisition targets?
Teamshares uses a tech-enabled sourcing model to identify small businesses with retiring owners, specifically targeting companies with $0.5 million to $5 million in EBITDA. The firm positions itself as a permanent home for businesses where 70% of owners fail to find a buyer. Its platform centralizes prospecting, underwriting, and integration.
What is Teamshares' investment strategy?
The firm acts as a permanent acquiror rather than a fund with a defined exit timeline. It buys companies, installs a trained president, layers in an operating platform, and assigns stock to existing employees. The focus is on fragmented Main Street sectors like light manufacturing, distribution, and commercial services.
Does Teamshares operate as a private equity firm?
No. Teamshares does not flip companies after a typical three- to five-year hold. It structures itself as a long-term holder, with employee ownership central to its retention and incentive model. The firm's permanent-hold posture separates it from conventional buyout funds.
What happens to employees when Teamshares buys a company?
Employees stay in place and earn stock ownership through continued service. Teamshares retains the existing workforce, brings in a trained president to lead the company, and provides financial education so employee-owners understand their stake in the business's growth.
What size companies does Teamshares target?
Teamshares targets companies with $0.5 million to $5 million of EBITDA. This EBITDA band sits below the typical threshold for institutional private equity, placing the firm in a market segment dominated by individual search funds and independent operators.
