We are an M&A and venture building firm with a General Partner / Limited Partner (GP/LP) structure, focused on acquiring, scaling, and consolidating essential trades businesses. Our mission: deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns by packaging high-performing portfolio companies for private equity exit.

Targeting established businesses with predictable cash flow, strong customer bases, and local brand equity.

We strengthen operations with systems, processes, and leadership that prepare each company to scale.

3. Leverage Synergies
Shared services, cross-company integration, and growth strategies that increase margins and efficiency.

4. Exit as a Portfolio
Package and sell the group to private equity firms looking for scaled, proven assets — maximizing valuation and LP returns.

Why Legacy Trades?

The trades sector represents one of the most resilient and overlooked investment opportunities in North America.

Recession-resistant: People and businesses rely on these services in every economic climate.

Fragmented market: Thousands of profitable, family-owned companies lack succession planning and modern systems.

Consolidation potential: With the right structure, these businesses can be rolled up into high-value portfolios attractive to private equity buyers.

This is where we come in.
