ABOUT US

River Sea Network partners with owners and acquires home service contractor businesses across the country.

We have flexible capital, allowing us to both work with owners who want to continue to operate their business after a transaction in addition to owners who want to transition away from their business or retire. Following a transaction, we provide capital investment, strategic resources and human capital to help companies achieve their full potential.

STRUCTURE

While we are flexible in structuring, in most of our acquisitions, we seek a majority ownership interest with the seller retaining a minority interest. This allows for a true partnership based on an alignment of goals and incentives. The minority partner is often the current owner who retains some ownership with a built-in exit strategy that allows them to monetize ownership over time.

"I chose to partner with River Sea because of its focus on people. I built a strong culture at my company, and I wanted to make sure that this culture remained when the ownership structure shifted. River Sea has a “people first” mindset and goes out of its way to help support and grow my employee base."
