What Sets E&A Apart?

We are NOT a private equity company who seeks to buy and "flip" companies. We are acquirers who seek long-term growth through systematic and disclined strategies.
We understand the critical importance of confidentiality while considering a sale. Our acquisition team comprises no more than four people, and we are very discrete.
We have the capacity to get the transaction done:
- We pay cash, without the use of any seller or contingent financing;
- We have experience working with founders and family run companies; and,
- We make decisions quickly!
Executive management has over 240 years of experience in small business sales and operations. As founders and operator of small and large companies, we understand the challenges and rewards of running a small business.
We have a proven record of taking small entrepreneurial companies to the next level.
We are flexible in meeting owner needs during the transition.
