I am seeking to purchase, run, and grow one business, while enabling the existing business owner to achieve their financial goals and continue their legacy.
|
Focus
I am looking for a business owner who wants to sell their company and be free to move on to the next stage of their life knowing that their business is in good hands. |
Offer
I can offer a business owner the opportunity to reap the rewards of their hard work, while providing stability and continuity to their employees, customers and community. |
Distinction
I am an experienced small business manager who has earned the support of a wealthy family (Halstatt Legacy Partners) who will provide the capital to buy the company. |
Your business, employees, and customers are incredibly important to you, and are important to me, too. I will prioritize the continued success of the business, while ensuring stability and continuity for all involved.
What I am looking for:
- Private, service related company with a straight-forward business model
- Business not primarily focused on real estate
What I can provide:
|
Quick Transaction
I will be direct and honest with you throughout our discussions, and ask the same from you. If we decide to work out a deal, the family behind me will help us to have a swift and efficient closing process. |
Continued Legacy
I appreciate your history, and will work every day with your employees to ensure that your legacy persists. I am passionate about operating your business with integrity, and will continue to grow your business over the long term. |
Flexible Terms
Your goals and tax planning needs are important to me as we structure our deal. I can be flexible working through terms and can plan a transition that meets your needs. |
Acquiring and managing a small business is my only professional focus.
Katie Burton
Rooted in my childhood in Texas, tradition and independence have always been important parts of my life. These are the reasons I am drawn to operating a small business - to respectfully carry forward the legacy of a company that offers opportunity to a community, and autonomy to me.
My first exposure to small business was as a bookkeeper and receptionist during summers in high school. After graduating from Texas A&M University, I joined the oil and gas industry through an entry level accounting position with a small service company. As the company grew, I grew with it, earning a broad set of responsibilities. I discovered my love of being a "Jill of all trades" and rose to manage the accounting team, along with all administrative and IT staff, and earned the trust of the owner to make decisions on my own. During those years, I gained practical experience running a small business; however, I knew if I wanted ownership and independence I would have to expand my business education. I achieved this through earning an MBA at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.
