Acquisition criteria
Laurel Shores is seeking one established manufacturing or industrial services business that Paul can lead full time and own for the long term. We approach each transition flexibly, with consideration for the owner's timing, objectives, and desired level of continued involvement.
Target industries
Businesses that make tangible products and compete through specialized capabilities, skilled teams, quality, and reliable execution.
Established service businesses supporting industrial customers through technical expertise, recurring needs, and mission-critical work.
Investment profile
Ideally within 60 minutes of Maryville; compelling opportunities up to 90 minutes away may be considered.
Selective exceptions considered when the business, structure, and long-term fit are compelling.
Paul intends to join the business full time rather than manage it as one asset in a broad portfolio.
Business characteristics
Not every business will match every characteristic. These are the qualities that create the strongest foundation for a long-term partnership.
Outside the mandate
Laurel Shores does not pursue consumer retail and hospitality, highly regulated healthcare delivery, venture-stage or early-stage businesses, or purely project-based construction.
