Small Business Acquisitions
Red Rose Capital acquires small businesses from owners ready to retire or move on, at a fair price, with your team and legacy intact. We take on the role of steward, not just buyer, bringing personal dedication and hands-on expertise to carry your life's work forward for years to come.
About
Principal, Red Rose Capital
Trey built his career leading growth and AI transformation at Fortune 100 companies, directing large teams through fundamental strategic initiatives and P&L optimization at enterprise scale. The companies he served delivered double-digit annualized shareholder returns during his tenure.
In 2023, he founded a private real estate investment fund with a clear mandate: preserve investor capital and deliver reliable growth. The fund has produced market-beating returns and has never missed an investor distribution.
Red Rose Capital is the next chapter: bringing that business leadership and strategic vision to the acquisition of one exceptional small business, which Trey will run personally for the long term.
Raised in small-town America, Trey has always seen small businesses as the backbone of the American economy. In acquiring one, he looks forward to preserving its reputation as a staple of its local community and giving back to the people who built it. He holds honesty and integrity as non-negotiables, and it shows in his partnerships, his customer relationships, and his teams.
For Trey, acquisition has never been just about returns. It is stewardship: leaving a business, its people, and its community stronger than he found them.

Our Buy Box
This is the actual criteria we screen against, not a general "we buy small businesses" pitch. If a listing fails it, we'll say so in ten seconds.
Essential, recurring-need service businesses, not high-growth stories or one-off project work.
SDE / EBITDA range. This is the number we screen on first.
Primarily focused in Florida, with several other states we're actively open to.
The Process
Most owners spend more time deciding to sell than actually selling. Once you're ready, here's exactly what happens.
A 20-minute call, no obligation. Tell us about the business, we'll tell you honestly if it's a fit. Nothing leaves this conversation without an NDA.
We're not raising capital after you say yes, we already have it. Expect a written offer within two weeks and diligence built to close on schedule, not stall.
We step in personally to run day-to-day, keep your team in place, and protect the reputation you spent years earning.
Why It's Different
Most owners never stop to ask what actually happens after the wire clears. Here's the honest comparison.
Who's Behind This
This isn't a solo bet. It's a network built over a career, not assembled for a pitch deck.
A group of investors with a non-binding commitment to fund the right deal.
Lenders, accountants, and lawyers, each advising in their specific field.
A bench of high-caliber operators and investors advising the search and available after close.
