Investors Focused on the Lower Middle Market

At The Rossman Company, our mission is to be the long-term home for legacy businesses across America. We partner with founders and family-owned companies who are ready to transition, offering a thoughtful, entrepreneur-led approach to succession. Our goal is to honor what’s been built—preserving culture, protecting jobs, and investing in sustainable growth—while providing the next generation of leadership and stewardship.


The firm is led by Alex Rossman, award-winning marketer and CEO of Rossman Media, who brings a deep background in marketing and advertising to help incubate and scale the companies he’s passionate about. Backed by a team of seasoned operators and subject matter experts, The Rossman Company leverages cross-industry knowledge spanning marketing services, technology, consumer services, professional services, and more. We believe great businesses deserve more than just capital—they deserve partners who lead with heart, operate with integrity, and think in decades, not quarters.

"I started The Rossman Company because I'm in a founder’s shoes. Selling your business isn’t just a financial decision, it’s personal. We exist to make sure that legacy is honored, your people are taken care of, and your next chapter is built on respect, not pressure."


— Alex Rossman, Managing Partner at The Rossman Company

Rossman | Marketing Services

Rossman Media

Rossman Media is a full-service digital marketing agency and the core platform of our roll-up strategy, focused on acquiring and integrating complementary agencies into a unified, tech-enabled powerhouse.

Rossman | Managed & IT Services

At The Rossman Company, we view Managed Service Providers (MSPs) as mission-critical businesses that benefit from high client stickiness, recurring revenue, and increasing reliance on outsourced IT solutions across industries. Our investment thesis focuses on acquiring established MSPs serving small to mid-sized enterprises, with a strong local or regional footprint, solid customer retention, and a diversified service offering across cloud, cybersecurity, and network management. We aim to build a national MSP platform by integrating best-in-class operators, streamlining back-office functions, expanding margins through scale, and layering in complementary solutions—positioning the business for long-term growth and exit optionality.


Actively pursuing platform acquisition ($1M - $10M of EBITDA)

Rossman | Healthcare Services

At The Rossman Company, we believe healthcare services represent a resilient, recession-resistant sector with long-term demographic tailwinds and increasing demand for accessible, high-quality care. Our investment thesis is centered on acquiring founder-led, cash-flowing healthcare businesses—particularly those in specialty care, behavioral health, outpatient services, and revenue cycle management—that have strong clinical teams, recurring patient volume, and opportunities to scale through operational improvement, technology integration, and regional expansion. By partnering with experienced providers and maintaining continuity of care, we aim to preserve each brand’s legacy while unlocking growth through strategic tuck-ins, marketing infrastructure, and back-office consolidation.

Rossman | Home Services

At The Rossman Company, we see the home services sector as a fragmented, recession-resilient industry driven by recurring demand, aging infrastructure, and growing homeowner expectations. Our investment thesis targets established, locally trusted providers across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and other essential residential services with strong brand equity, consistent cash flow, and a loyal customer base. By acquiring and integrating these businesses into a scalable platform, we aim to drive growth through operational efficiency, centralized marketing, technology adoption, and strategic geographic expansion—while preserving the legacy and craftsmanship that built each company’s reputation.

Rossman | Financial Services

At The Rossman Company, we recognize accounting, bookkeeping, and CFO services as essential, high-retention functions that provide stable recurring revenue and deep client relationships. Our investment thesis focuses on acquiring firms that serve small to mid-sized businesses with a mix of monthly accounting, payroll, tax, and outsourced CFO services. With increasing demand for financial clarity, compliance, and strategic advisory, we see a significant opportunity to build a modern, tech-enabled platform that combines trusted local expertise with centralized systems, automation, and value-added services. Our approach is to preserve each firm’s client-centric culture while scaling efficiently through integration, cross-selling, and regional expansion.

Rossman | Agriculture

At The Rossman Company, we view agriculture and environmental services as essential industries at the intersection of sustainability, food security, and infrastructure resilience. Our investment thesis targets companies providing agronomic consulting, irrigation systems, soil testing, environmental compliance, and related services that support landowners, farmers, and municipalities. These businesses often operate in fragmented markets with strong local relationships and recurring service needs, making them ideal for a regional roll-up strategy. We aim to partner with founder-led operators to preserve legacy while investing in technology, centralized operations, and geographic expansion—building a scalable platform that meets the growing demand for environmentally responsible land and resource management.

Rossman | Residential and Commercial Services

At The Rossman Company, we see General Residential and Commercial Services as a compelling category of essential, recession-resistant businesses with predictable cash flow, regulatory tailwinds, and strong consolidation potential. Our investment thesis focuses on acquiring and integrating providers across waste management, pest control, fire and life safety, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and commercial janitorial services. These sectors share common traits—sticky customer relationships, recurring revenue through maintenance and compliance-driven contracts, and highly localized operations that benefit from scale and centralized systems. By partnering with experienced operators and investing in technology, marketing, and back-office efficiency, we aim to build a leading platform of service providers that deliver critical infrastructure support to homes and businesses alike.

FAQ

  • Why would I sell my company to The Rossman Company?

    We’re operators first, not just investors. We’ve built, scaled, and led agencies and service-based businesses just like yours. We’re not here to flip your business — we’re here to preserve your legacy, empower your team, and scale what you’ve built with care.

  • What kinds of companies do you typically acquire?

    We acquire profitable  businesses — doing $1M to $50M in annual revenue, ideally with strong customer relationships and an established leadership team in place.

  • Will my brand go away?

    Not necessarily. We respect the equity you’ve built in your brand. In some cases, we keep it as-is; in others, we unify brands under a larger platform to maximize growth and streamline operations. We work with you to make that decision together.

  • What happens to my employees after the sale?

    Your team matters to us. In most cases, your employees are retained — and in many cases, given more opportunities for growth, training, and access to shared resources. We believe great companies are built by great people — we don’t take that lightly.

  • Do I need to stay on after the sale?

    That’s up to you. Some founders want to stay and help scale — others are ready to step back. We can structure deals where you phase out over 6–12 months, stay on as an advisor, or continue in a leadership role. It's truly founder-friendly and flexible.

  • How is my business valued?

    Valuation is based on a multiple of your earnings (typically SDE or EBITDA), with factors like growth rate, recurring revenue, client retention, and team strength influencing the number. We’ll always walk you through how we arrive at a fair and transparent offer.

  • What does the deal structure look like?

    We customize each deal. It often includes a mix of upfront cash, potential earn-outs based on performance, and/or rollover equity — where you retain partial ownership in the larger platform we’re building. Our goal is to align incentives and set everyone up for a win.

  • How long does the acquisition process take?

    It typically takes 30–90 days from our first conversation to closing. We move efficiently and respectfully, with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.

  • What makes you different from other buyers or private equity firms?

    We’re not a faceless fund. We’re entrepreneurs who are in your shoes — and we value people over spreadsheets. We lead with integrity, act with speed, and make decisions with empathy. No corporate red tape, no drama — just real partnership.

  • I’m not ready to sell yet. Can we still talk?

    Absolutely. We love building relationships early. Whether you're 6 months or 6 years away from selling, we're happy to give guidance, answer questions, and help you prepare for when the time is right.


    Even better — you can work with us to strategically grow your business ahead of an eventual exit. We offer advisory, playbooks, and shared resources to help you scale smart. You'll also get access to our Pacific Northwest Business Owner community, where you can connect with other founders, share ideas, and tap into growth-focused conversations.
