CFKS Partners

Description

CFKS Partners is a women-led search fund acquiring founder-led American service businesses with recurring revenue, durable demand, and strong operating leverage. We focus on the lower middle market — essential service businesses with $7–$20M in revenue and $1–$3M in EBITDA — where retiring owners are looking for a buyer who will preserve the team, the customer relationships, and the cultural fabric they have spent decades building. Our approach is operator-led. We acquire majority control, operate and/or place operators, and create value through operational modernization, pricing and revenue expansion, CRM and workflow automation, AI-enabled administrative leverage, government contracting capture, and disciplined owner transition. The opportunity is generational. Roughly 2.3 million U.S. privately held businesses with employees are owned by baby boomers preparing to exit — representing an estimated $10 trillion in business assets transferring over the coming decade. Most of those owners have no formal succession plan. CFKS Partners is built to be the buyer they want. Women-Led. Operator-Led. Long-Term Focused.
