Business Buyers

Corporate executive wants stable cash flows

"I am interested mainly in business service companies with revenues of $5 to $20 million and a long history of stable cash flows. I am not interested in troubled businesses or turnarounds, but instead in situations where owners of healthy businesses are retiring or would like to diversify their risk by achieving some liquidity. I am looking to pay a fair price and personally operate the business professionally and ethically for the benefit of the owners, employees and customers." [Buyer510150]
