🛠 Torch & Ledger

🚀 Our Mission

Business ownership is dropping fast 📉 — now at just 6.7% in the U.S. and 7.8% in Canada.

At the same time, private equity has surged 📈 from owning 4% of U.S. businesses in 2000 to 20% by 2020.

We’re building an alternative: preserving independence, infusing tech, and sustaining legacies. 🌱

💡 Why We’re Doing This

We’ve spent years building tech — from complex cloud infrastructure ☁️ to custom solutions for frontline businesses.

But in doing that, we realized something: most small businesses don’t need complexity. They need support, clarity, and someone who gives a damn. ❤️

And yes — one of us is about to become a dad 🤰, so this is personal.

We’re not chasing exits. We’re chasing freedom, purpose, and legacy — the kind that grows over decades, not quarters. ⏳

🧭 What the Journey Looks Like

1. NDA 📝 — Standard stuff to protect your info and show we’re serious.
2. Financial Review 📑 — We’ll look at 3 years of P&L or tax returns to understand real earnings.
3. The Conversation 💬 — How involved are you? What’s working? What isn’t? What do you want next?
4. An Offer You Can’t Refuse 😉 — A deal that honors your legacy and sets the business up for its next chapter.
5. The Transition 🔄 — Smooth handoff, thoughtful onboarding, and continued support for your team and customers.
