How does Teamshares determine which companies to buy?

We’re focused on profitable small businesses with retiring owners ready to pass on their legacy. These companies typically have an average of 10-15 employees. For more detail on the specific criteria, visit our website at teamshares.com.

Criteria:

Retirement sale
Two or fewer retiring owners
Two or more managers
Tax-return provable financials
Over $400k Seller Discretionary Earnings
In business for 15+ years

We currently have companies across sectors (examples: HVAC, architecture) and across the United States.

What experience do I need to be a President?

We’re looking for our Presidents to have people leadership experience, business acumen (MBA or previous P&L management experience preferred but not required), and an empathetic coaching style. No industry experience is required, just a strong growth mindset.

What is the expected duration of the President role?

We are asking for a 4-5 year commitment. Following that period, opportunities may include staying at the network company, joining another Teamshares company, or joining Teamshares.

Why can’t I find much information about you online?

We are new and we’re in the building phase! Teamshares started in 2019, purchased 4 businesses in 2020, 30 businesses in 2021, and plans to purchase at least 70 more by the end of 2022. Prior to Teamshares, the team collectively purchased and ran dozens of businesses.
Right now, our focus is on building the systems that provide value to our customers, while scaling quickly.

Why not promote someone internally?

Our team’s combined expertise buying small companies has taught us that talented, new leadership can often accelerate growth, strengthen company culture, and improve employee happiness after a previous longterm owner retires. That is why we look for a unique blend of growth mindset, empathetic leadership style, business knowledge, and people management expertise in our President candidates.
A Teamshares President is supported by an experienced team of longtime employees, including senior operational leaders within the company. Each Teamshares President also receives a Teamshares coach and professional development to support you as you grow the business.

Why employee ownership?

The employees are the natural buyers of these businesses but they don't have the capital to do it. We help facilitate that process by granting employees shares when we buy the business and enabling their equity to grow over time.
Equity alignment drives financial outperformance in Silicon Valley and over 6,000 middle market "ESOPs". Specifically, employee-owned companies outperform traditional peers with 14% more profitability and 25% greater survival rates in recessions, so we believe it’s time for small business to get aligned.
