Business Acquisition & Succession
The Next Chapter
for Great Businesses
We acquire profitable, established companies from retiring founders — protecting your legacy, empowering your team, and providing a permanent home for the business you built.
The Market Opportunity
Most owners never get
the exit they deserve
Three in four owners plan to exit within a decade, yet most have no documented succession plan. 27% of owners 55+ have no plan at all.
Of 200,000+ businesses listed for sale each year, only 30% successfully close. Most owners who spent decades building walk away with nothing.
As baby boomers retire, an estimated 6 million small businesses will face ownership transitions. Most have no buyer, no plan, or both.
For most small business owners, the business is the retirement plan — yet for 70% of them, a successful exit never happens.
About Skinner Syndicate
We believe great businesses deserve a great exit
We started Skinner Syndicate because retiring founders deserve a straightforward, honest path — without brokers playing games, lowball offers, or deals that fall apart at the last minute.
No runaround. No surprises. We buy businesses to hold and grow them — not flip them — which means your team, your culture, and your customers are in good hands for the long term.
We Protect Your Legacy
The business you built continues under stewardship that respects what it took to get here.
We Empower Your Team
Your people aren't collateral damage. We invest in the humans who made the business great.
We Close With Certainty
No last-minute surprises. We do what we say, on the timeline we commit to.
How It Works
A simple, transparent process
A no-pressure call to understand your business, your goals, and your ideal timeline. We listen first.
If there's a fit, we issue a fair, transparent LOI with no games. You'll know exactly where you stand.
We work quickly and respectfully. Our process is thorough but won't disrupt your day-to-day operations.
We close when we say we will. Transition support is built in — you won't be left holding the bag.
Get In Touch
Let's talk about

No brokers. No runaround. Just a straightforward conversation about your business, your goals, and whether we're the right fit.
