Welcome Business Owners

Through blood, sweat and tears you've worked hard to build a profitable business and gain a strong market position in your industry. You would now like to reap the rewards of that success, and continue to grow your business organically and by acquisition.

Who should you choose as a partner? Sunbelt.

Why Sunbelt?

Jim Tolzien, CEO on How We Value Your Company: "We know this is a big decision for you as an owner... We know what it means to you, and you can be sure it means just as much to me. We'll take each step together."

Peter R. Patraka, EVP on Our Long Term Perspective: "Our long term perspective is our greatest value to a business owner. We want them to remain as CEOs, as we align our interests to theirs."

J. Michael Jones, COO on Creating Additional Value: "We’re not about coming in to take over day to day operations. We’re there to advise, provide back office services where it makes sense, work on long term business planning and capital needs, and help integrate add-on acquisitions."

Experiences of our Portfolio Company CEOs:

John Biesterfeld, Green Thumb Lawn & Garden: "Sunbelt told me the one thing they would not change was my being able to run the company the same way as before. That was the most important thing to me.”

Jimmie Wilder, Accurate Machine & Tool: "What most impressed me with Sunbelt was the professionalism of the acquisitions team. They really looked out for the best interests of both parties... "

Randy Smith, Naples Transportation & Tours: "One of the most helpful parts of the acquisition process was the valuation. Sellers really don’t have an objective view of the worth of their business. Sunbelt covered the price, why it was what it was, and how they determined it...”
