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 usually, unless decided together. 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 free cashflow, 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.
