Colorado Springs. Operator-led. Long-term.
We buy and operate small businesses in Colorado Springs and El Paso County.
Hill Peak Holdings is an operator-led buyer focused on durable, cash-flowing companies. I’m a direct decision-maker and respond quickly—no fund process, no drama. I buy to own long term, with a preference for businesses that already run without daily owner heroics and can support a structured transition (30–90 days) with documentation and training.
Buy Box
Pragmatic criteria. Flexible for the right business.
Core criteria
- Geography: El Paso County / Colorado Springs (primary), Colorado Front Range (secondary), Colorado statewide, Mountain West (selectively)
- Purchase price: $300k–$1.0M (flexible for exceptional fit)
- Cash flow: roughly ~$250k SDE (flexible for exceptional fit)
- Financials: clean, understandable financials; no surprises
- Owner involvement: owner-operated is fine, but prefer businesses that run without daily owner firefighting
- Simplicity: understandable operations; low customer concentration preferred
- Demand: established customer base with repeat demand
Preferred Business Types
- Essential local service businesses in Colorado Springs / El Paso County
- Routes or contract-based services (laundry, vending, ATM, janitorial, maintenance)
- Commercial maintenance or B2B services with recurring revenue
- Light trades only if already staffed and systematized (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
- Small, niche U.S.-based SaaS only if profitable/breakeven, understandable, low concentration, and not venture-backed
Examples, not exhaustive.
We favor businesses that are boring in the best way—repeat demand, simple operations, and clean books.
Capital & Deal Structures
- SBA 7(a) and conventional financing (SBA acquisition)
- Seller financing considered on appropriate terms
- Earn-outs or hybrid structures considered selectively
- Structures designed to support continuity, a clean close, and seller success
We value alignment over leverage.
Not a fit
- Heavy CapEx manufacturing
- Highly regulated healthcare / medical practices
- Highly seasonal or tourism-dependent businesses
- Venture-backed startups or unproven SaaS
- Businesses dependent on 24/7 owner availability or daily firefighting
- High customer concentration or opaque financials
How We Transact
Clear steps, confidential review, and realistic expectations.
-
Intro email + short summary
Send the basics (industry, location, asking price, SDE/EBITDA, and any key notes). If it’s an El Paso County business for sale, flag it—we prioritize local.
-
Quick fit check
We’ll confirm alignment with the buy box, transition reality, and timing before going deeper.
-
NDA + CIM review
NDA-ready, confidential review and thoughtful questions—no time-wasting.
-
Call with broker and/or seller
Practical discussion around operations, customer concentration, risks, and transition needs.
-
LOI outlining structure (including financing mix)
Clear terms (SBA 7(a), seller financing, or hybrid) that support continuity and a clean close.
-
Diligence and closing
Seller transition preferred (30–90 days, flexible) with documentation and training. I may not be on-site full time immediately, so a structured handoff matters.
