For owners of profitable, established businesses
What's your business actually worth to the right buyer?
Most owners guess wrong. Get a free ballpark in two minutes — or a real, institution-grade valuation built on your actual numbers.
Worth knowing
Most owners we buy from don't take one big check — they take steady monthly income for years. We'll show you both.
What it's really for
The life's work you hand over — and the time, family, and retirement the sale finally buys back.

✦ Your rough ballpark
$— – $—
A rough ballpark — not an offer, and not your real number.
A note: Based on your profit range, your business is probably below the size we typically acquire. That said — if you're open to a creative structure, we're still happy to have a conversation. Some of our best deals didn't start in our usual buy box.
This range is wide on purpose. Without your real financials, neither of us knows your true number — and four dropdowns never will.
Here's what matters: the day you take a number to a bank, a buyer, or an M&A advisor, they'll price you on your actual books — and that's often very different from the number in your head. Sometimes lower. Sometimes higher.
Better to know it now, from someone on your side of the table, than to find out across it. That's what the $500 valuation is for — your real, defensible number, before anyone else sets it for you.

About us
We run the businesses we buy.
Between us, we've built and run companies across logistics, software, AI, and home-based care — and we keep adding to that list. Different industries, one instinct: we know a business worth protecting when we see it.

Omar Zuhair
Co-Founder & Operator
Active owner-operator in home-based care — knows licensing, staffing, and payer mix firsthand. The day-to-day reality of running the kind of business we buy.
If yours is the right fit, we'll buy it. If it's not, we'll help you find the buyer who is. Either way, you're handing your life's work to people who've actually run businesses — not flipped them.
The best sellers weren't chasing the highest bid — they wanted the buyer who'd take care of what they built.

A letter from the founders
Why we built OB.
From Bilal & Omar
To an owner considering a sale
You built something real — and you already know most buyers won't treat it the way it deserves. We built OB because we were tired of watching that happen.
Between us we've run businesses across logistics, software, AI, and home-based care — and Omar still runs a home-care business day to day. We put real operating experience and deal structure together on purpose.
Our promise, plainly: we won't waste your time. We tell you within a week if we're a fit, give you a real written offer — cash and monthly-income, side by side — and close in 30 days. If we're not a fit, we'll say so.
You only sell this business once. Let's have a quiet conversation.

Is this for you?
You're in the right place if…
- ✓You own a profitable, established business that runs on systems, not just you.
- ✓You're wondering what's next — retirement, another project, just being done.
- ✓You want a smooth, private transition — not a six-month broker circus.
- ✓You're open to getting paid in a way that fits your life — one check or monthly income.
- ✓You want to protect what you built, not just take the highest bid.
Before you call — three things sellers ask
Straight answers.
Will you keep my staff? +
Yes. Your team stays — they're part of what we're acquiring. We're not here to cut costs. We're here to grow.
What happens to my clients? +
They stay. Your clients chose you — keeping those relationships intact is one of the first things we protect.
How do you structure the deal if I don't want a lump sum? +
We do seller-financed deals — monthly payments over a fixed term, like a retirement income, instead of one taxable lump sum. For many owners it means more total dollars after taxes, spread across years. Here's the part most buyers won't volunteer: a seller note means you're paid over time, so the structure has to be sound. That's why we put the terms, the security, and what happens if anything changes in writing, up front — before you ever sign. And if a clean lump sum fits your life better, we'll price that too. Your call, not ours.
Why would I sell to you instead of going to a broker? +
Brokers work for the highest bidder; we work toward the best outcome for you. No listing fees, no strangers walking through, no months of uncertainty.
I've never sold a business before. Is that a problem? +
Most of our sellers haven't. We'll walk you through every step — that's our job. We'd rather lose a deal than push you into one you'd regret.
What if I'm not ready to sell yet? +
That's fine — the best conversations happen early. Talk now, and when you're ready (six months, two years), you'll already know who to call. No one does their best deal under pressure.
Start with a number.
Finish with a real offer.
Most sellers waste months on the wrong buyers. You don't have to. See your number now.
Before you book — what the call actually is
Not a pitch — a 30-minute conversation about your business, goals, and timeline. Not a fit? We'll tell you. No obligation.
We pursue 2–3 acquisitions per quarter — if you're curious, earlier is better than later.
