Investment Criteria
At LSJ Investments LLC, we focus on acquiring small and lower middle market businesses with strong growth potential, a solid operational foundation, and room for strategic improvements. Our goal is to partner with these businesses and help them grow by providing operational, financial, and strategic support.
We are actively seeking acquisition opportunities in the following sectors:
● Manufacturing
● Wholesale/Distribution
● Service-related industries
Target Businesses
We are open to acquisitions across the United States, with a special focus on the Southeast, particularly in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Texas.
Geographic Focus
Our typical acquisition target has an EBITDA range of $500,000 to $1,500,000, though we are open to considering deals outside of this range on a case-by-case basis.
Financial Parameters
We seek lower middle market businesses with:
● Established operational processes that can benefit from improvements in sales and marketing efforts.
● Strong management teams or systems in place to ensure a smooth transition.
● Opportunities for geographic or market expansion.
● Potential for increased operational efficiency or integration of new technologies.
Investment Strategy
We are flexible with respect to the owner’s role post-acquisition, offering a smooth and collaborative transition process. We are open to working with owners who wish to remain involved during the transition period or for a longer-term, based on mutual agreement.
Ownership Transition
While we remain open to investing in various industries, we typically avoid:
● Restaurants
● Retail stores
● New construction/real estate development
● High-tech startups
● E-commerce businesses
● Businesses requiring specific licenses that cannot be easily transferred to us
