- We’ve purchased 4 businesses in 2020 and plan to purchase at least 24 more in 2021. Prior to Teamshares, the team collectively purchased and ran dozens of businesses.
- What is your criteria for purchasing a business?
- Businesses must meet the following criteria:
- Retirement sale. Our preference is to work with one retiring owner. (We may consider two.)
- U.S. based business
- The owner is open to a transition at a mutually agreeable compensation, for a period of twelve months or less.

- How long does it take to close?
- Since we don’t have a financing contingency we can close much faster than most buyers. We typically close within 60 days of receiving a signed LOI.
- Does Teamshares require a bank loan or have a financing contingency?
- Teamshares has over $50mm of committed capital in place and does not use a bank. As such, we do not have a financing contingency.
- I see that you feature Employee Ownership on Teamshares.com, how does that affect us?
- This is a program that Teamshares believes deeply in but puts in place only after the transaction. The business purchase is strictly between the seller and Teamshares, we are 100% the buyer.
