Founder & Owner · Ozark Capital Group

A finance-first approach to acquiring and preserving established Ozarks businesses.

Chad brings a background in accounting, financial analysis, operations, and management to each potential acquisition. His experience includes cost accounting and Assistant Controller responsibilities, with hands-on work in budgeting, margins, reporting, operational performance, and management decision-making.

Through Ozark Capital Group, the goal is to work directly with local owners who are considering a sale, understand what makes their business successful, and structure a transition that respects the employees, customers, relationships, and reputation they have built.

Selling your business

A straightforward path from the first conversation to closing.

Ozark Capital Group is focused on acquiring established local businesses. We work directly with owners, keep early conversations confidential, and look for purchase structures that make sense for both sides.

01 · Connect

Confidential conversation

Tell us about your business, your timeline, and what a successful transition would look like for you. An initial conversation does not create any obligation to sell.

02 · Review

Business review & offer

We review the financial performance, operations, people, assets, and other factors that drive the business, then determine whether we can put forward a purchase proposal.

03 · Transition

Flexible path to closing

When there is a fit, we work toward a practical structure, due diligence, definitive agreements, and an owner transition designed around the needs of the business.

What we look for

Established Ozarks businesses worth carrying forward.

We are open to different industries and deal sizes. We are most interested in businesses with a real operating history, understandable economics, and a foundation that deserves to be preserved and built upon.

Established operations

A meaningful operating history, proven products or services, and a business that has become part of its customers' normal buying habits.

Understandable cash flow

Financial records that allow us to understand revenue, expenses, margins, owner earnings, working-capital needs, and the economics of the business.

People & customer relationships

Experienced employees, loyal customers, supplier relationships, local reputation, or operating knowledge that give the business enduring value.

Owner ready for a transition

An owner who is considering retirement, a new chapter, reduced involvement, or simply wants to explore whether a sale could be the right next step.

How we work

Private, practical, and focused on a successful transition.

Selling a business is a major decision. Our process is designed to give both sides enough information to decide whether there is a fit before investing heavily in a transaction.

STEP 01

Talk

We start with a confidential conversation about the business, your role, your goals, and the timing you have in mind.

STEP 02

Review

With your permission, we review the information needed to understand the business and determine whether an acquisition makes sense.

STEP 03

Offer

If there is a fit, we discuss value, structure, financing, timing, and other key terms before moving into detailed diligence and agreements.

STEP 04

Transition

We work toward closing and an orderly handoff that protects continuity for the business, its employees, customers, and important relationships.

Start a confidential conversation

Thinking about selling your business?

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you own an established business in the Ozarks and are considering a sale now or in the future, tell us a little about it. The first conversation is simply to learn about your situation and see whether there may be a fit.
