Your business was built by taking your craft seriously and operating with integrity. You're looking to retire or exit, but you care about your customers, employees, and partners.
Next Chapter Search is looking to acquire and run a business with a long-term view and dedication to preserving your legacy.
My name is Emory and I started Next Chapter Search to acquire a business in the greater Salt Lake City area with a focus on long-term, profitable growth. I know that small business success is hard-earned, and selling your business is a big decision. If you care about finding the right person to lead the next chapter of your business, I'd love to talk.
Emory and his wife Meaghan live in Salt Lake City
I spent the past few years running an electrical contractor in Salt Lake City. I know what it takes to lead a team, build a strong culture, delight customers, and manage cashflow. As we get to know each other, I'll introduce you to the owners of that business so you can hear it directly from them.
Selling a business is more than a transaction- it's handing over something you've built with years of hard work, relationships, and care. I'll be a steward of what you've built and grow the right way — by respecting your team and culture and maintaining the quality your customers expect.
My wife and I live in Utah and are investing our personal capital. I'm not a private equity group that owns a dozen other businesses, and I'm not interested in flipping or squeezing every penny out of it for short-term profits. This will be my full-time job and largest asset, and I will treat it with the care it deserves.
Whether you're looking for a quick transition or want to stay involved for a while, I'm open to finding a structure that fits your goals. I plan to purchase the business at a fair market multiple, and I'll work with you to craft terms that fit your personal and financial goals.
This is a casual conversation to get to know each other. I'll share a bit about my background, and you can tell me about your business, your goals, and what's important to you in a sale.
If there's mutual interest, I'll take a deeper look at your business — things like financials, operations, and key challenges — to understand how I can step in and carry it forward.
Once we agree on the big picture — price, terms, and transition — I'll put that into a formal LOI. This document outlines the key terms and sets us up for due diligence.
This is where I roll up my sleeves and dig into the details — confirming the numbers, understanding processes, and making sure there are no surprises. My goal is to move through this efficiently and respectfully, without disrupting your day-to-day business.
Once the deal closes, we'll work together to make sure the handoff goes smoothly. There will be some overlap where I'm learning the day-to-day operations from you, but we'll agree to a transition timeline that works for both of us.
If you're thinking about selling your business and my approach resonates with you, I'd love to have a conversation.
