Osprey acquires established, owner-run businesses across the United States and the United Kingdom.
We buy businesses to hold. We’re privately owned and come from operations, not finance. No outside fund decides when we buy, when we sell, or how we run what we own. When you speak to Osprey, you speak to the person buying your business.
It's the question every owner asks. Most buyers already have an exit planned before they buy. We don't.
We buy businesses to hold, not to trade.
The business keeps its name, its reputation, and its place in the community you built it in.
Your team is the reason the business works. They keep their jobs, and we invest in them.
No cutting costs to dress it up for a quick sale. We buy to own and build, not to trade.
No outside investment fund, no deadlines, no pressure to exit. We think in decades, not years.
Every owner’s situation is different. Whether you’re ready to sell today, want to keep a stake, or want to grow before selling, we build the deal around you.
You sell the business, we pay you directly, and you step away on your timeline. Whether that’s a quick handover or a gradual transition.
Sell most of the business, keep a share, and stay as involved as you want. You get paid now, and you share in what the business earns as it grows.
Not ready to sell yet? We work alongside you to build the business, so when you decide the time is right, you’re in a stronger position to sell.
Additional revenue generated for our partners.
We come from operations, not finance. We’ve generated more than $10 million in additional revenue for our partners through operational improvement, stronger systems and disciplined execution. That experience shapes every business we acquire.

I’ve spent years inside businesses like yours: building the systems, growing the revenue, working alongside the owners. I learned that for most founders, selling was never just about the money. It’s about what happens next. To the business, to the people, to everything they built.
I’ve met owners who want to step back but feel they can’t, because everyone relies on them. I’ve watched others sell to buyers who never understood what they’d bought. Osprey exists to be the better option: a buyer who takes the weight without dropping what matters.
There is no fund behind me and nobody forcing my hand. If you’ve been waiting for the right buyer, I’d like to meet you.

We'd rather have a quiet conversation early than a rushed one later. Discreet, direct and entirely on your terms.
