Our 3 Tenets
influence how we operate
and set us apart from other acquirers:
Ownership creates alignment
We want employees to act like owners… so, we will make them owners.
We will create stock options and profit sharing programs for all employees, a proven way to increase alignment and performance across the organization.
Execute for sustainable 10x growth
We are not a “buy, cut staff, and flip” kind of firm.
We will sustainably grow cash flow by at least 10x. Selling a business sooner is only an option if it is good for owners - which now includes employees.
Get the story behind the stats
We do not reject companies because they are a unique. We dig into the story.
Non-recurring revenue, customer concentration, diverse owner status, or government contracts are not disqualifiers.
Dear Business Owner,
If you are thinking about selling your business, I am sure it is hard to tell the difference between the firms who seem interested in buying your business.
In my experience, I have heard all these questions and many more:
“Who are these people?”
“Will they flip my business?”
“Will they leave my employees in in the cold?”
”Can they even get a deal done?”
So, I’ll be clear about The January 23rd Company’s commitment to aligning business seller, employee, and investor interests so we can win together.
Our 3 tenets detailed above guide us to create alignment at all levels, execute long-term plans with urgency, and understand opportunities well enough to create unique value over the life of the business.
Our tenets are based on the lessons of my parents and if we get these right, our companies can create strong returns for investors, joy for our customers, prosperity for our teams, and good in our communities.
I hope to meet you and work with you soon.
