Direct acquisition
We buy businesses directly from their owners.
RockHaven Capital is a private firm that buys businesses from their owners. When you call, you talk to a principal of the firm.
- Your business stays off the market while we talk.
- You are paid cash at closing.
- Sellers pay no fees.
- What you tell us stays between us.
The service
Buying your business is the only service we offer.
RockHaven does one thing. We purchase established businesses from the people who own them.
We are the buyer, not a broker.
You get cash at close. Where a seller note helps the deal work, we will structure one and talk through the terms with you.
The terms do not change if your company places staff, runs crews, or advises clients. What changes is what we ask to see before we price it.
You negotiate once, with the buyer who signs the purchase agreement.
What stays true on every deal
- The principals handle your deal from the first call to the close.
- We do not list the business or bring in outside buyers.
- Your staff and customers will not hear about a sale from us.
- You pay no broker fee and no listing fee.
- The price comes from your tax returns and your cash flow.

Read by business type
Start with your kind of business.
Pick the page closest to your business. The questions we ask differ, because a staffing firm and a cleaning company do not prove cash flow the same way.
Any established business
This covers established businesses with steady cash flow that do not fit the narrower types below.
Read the general page →Staffing and recruiting
Staffing deals turn on who holds the client relationship and how much revenue repeats.
- Contract placement mix
- Permanent placement mix
- Client concentration
Service businesses
What matters here is the contract book and the crews who do the work.
- Cleaning
- Landscaping
- Route services
- Other crews and contracts
Consulting firms
The hard question with a practice is what is left when the founder steps back.
- Retainers
- Client concentration
- Founder dependence
How it works
From first call to close.
Every deal follows the same four steps, in order.
A private conversation
You tell us how the business runs and why you are selling.
A straight valuation
We work from your filed tax returns. Projections do not set the price.
Cash and terms
Cash at close, plus a seller note where it helps. We put the full structure in writing before anyone signs.
A clean close
We sign the papers and fund the purchase.
We aim to close in four to eight weeks once terms are agreed.
