Buyer summary · reviewed 2026-08-19

$1 million or more in annual revenue. No upper limit.

Age
5 or more years operating
Not buying
restaurants, retail, franchises, startups, turnarounds, real-estate-heavy businesses

Who I am

  • I live in Boise. Swabian Acquisition is my company.
  • MBA, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University.
  • Financial analytics, ServiceLink (Fidelity National Financial).
  • Strategy consulting, EY.
  • I have not bought a company before. I would rather you hear that from me than find it out.

What I will discuss with your client

  • Who runs the company day to day after close.
  • How quickly, or slowly, your client steps back.
  • Which employees and key people stay, and on what terms.
  • Whether the company keeps its name.
  • Your client's own role afterwards, from a clean exit to a long advisory seat.
  • How and when your client gets paid.

What I cannot promise in advance

Any of the above, before I understand the business. They are decisions we make together and put in writing, not guarantees I can make on a page. A buyer who promises them sight unseen is telling you something.

On timing, the only commitment I make is a quick, professional closing within 90 days.

What contacting me does not do

  • It does not create an engagement, for you or your client.
  • It does not start a sale process, and nothing gets listed.
  • It does not oblige your client to do anything at all.
  • Your client should keep independent legal, tax and financial advice. That means you.

The first conversation

Thirty minutes, confidential, no documents. Mostly me asking questions. If the business is not a fit I say so on that call and try to point your client somewhere better suited.
