250 Hampton
Hi, I'm Eric Olson and I am searching for a business to own and operate for the long run.
250 Hampton is a reference to the street address where my mother and father have run our family business in Massachusetts for the past 40+ years. After two decades operating businesses for PE and VC firms, I am focused on finding a business to own and operate just like my parents did.
I am looking for a manufacturing or distribution business generating $0.5M - $1.5M in EBITDA/SDE that could be improved with the addition of operational excellence and a strong sales effort.
My Criteria
I am focused on acquiring a small manufacturing or distribution business and I am looking for owners that want to partner with me to ensure their legacy continues. You've built something great. Let's make sure employees and customers can experience that greatness for years to come.
