The firm
We buy small and enable the entrepreneur to dream big.
Flagstaff Partners acquires meaningful stakes in privately held businesses. This can be in the form of a retiring owner, an owner who wants a partner for the next phase, or an entrepreneur or sponsor looking to have focused capital and operational assistance while acquiring a business. Unlike other firms, we are not afraid to start small. We work with the entrepreneurs to build the scale business both through hiring and systems, but also through acquisition. We have the expertise and the capital to take a great business with modest roots to the next stage and beyond. We have built businesses from sub $1m in revenue to over $150m in revenue and have seen every stage in between as both operators and investors. We are here to support the journey.

How we work
-
Back
We start with respect for what already works. The businesses we back have earned their customers over decades. Our first job is to understand why, not to change it. Even more important than the business are the people, we back strong operators and strong teams.
-
Build
Operators first. We put capital and hands-on support behind the management teams closest to the work: systems, people, and the patience to compound quietly.
-
Expand
M&A is our primary growth driver. We have built the playbook to make acquisitions fast and efficient while minimizing transition risk. We bring this playbook to every portfolio company.
