Small Business Acquisitions

Your business deserves a buyer who runs it, not one who strips it.

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

Trey Campagna

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

A specific filter, not a wide net

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.

What We Buy

Essential, recurring-need service businesses, not high-growth stories or one-off project work.

  • Environmental & Waste Services
  • Specialty Compliance & B2B Services
  • Facility & Property Services
  • Healthcare & Assistance
  • Other recurring commercial or consumer service businesses

Geography & Owner Fit

Primarily focused in Florida, with several other states we're actively open to.

  • Primary: Florida
  • Also open to: Southern US Region and Pennsylvania
  • Business owners seeking qualified succession
  • Opportunities where cultural fit is prioritized
  • Situations requiring thoughtful transition planning

The Process

Three steps, no surprises

Most owners spend more time deciding to sell than actually selling. Once you're ready, here's exactly what happens.

01

Confidential First Call

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.

02

A Funded, Written Offer

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.

03

A Transition, Not a Teardown

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

Not every buyer wants the same thing

Most owners never stop to ask what actually happens after the wire clears. Here's the honest comparison.

Traditional Private Equity

  • Installs outside management, institutional knowledge walks out the door
  • Bought on a 3–5 year hold, built to be resold
  • Headcount and costs cut to hit a return target
  • Decisions go through an investment committee
  • Relationships with staff, customers, and community are transactional, if maintained at all
  • Growth capped by the fund's return timeline, not the business's real potential

Red Rose Capital

  • The buyer steps in personally, the people who run the business stay
  • No exit clock. Bought to run, not to flip
  • One funded buyer decides, no committee, no delay
  • Direct, ongoing relationships with the team, customers, and community
  • Resources and hands-on support for sustainable growth, on the business's own timeline

Who's Behind This

Backed by real capital and real expertise

This isn't a solo bet. It's a network built over a career, not assembled for a pitch deck.

Capital Investors

A group of investors with a non-binding commitment to fund the right deal.

  • Proof of funds letter available on request
  • Funded deal by deal, not tied to a fund-cycle clock

Acquisition Support Team

Lenders, accountants, and lawyers, each advising in their specific field.

  • Acquisition financing expertise
  • Accounting and legal diligence, deal structuring, and closing support

Advisor Network

A bench of high-caliber operators and investors advising the search and available after close.

  • Fortune 500 CEOs and senior executives
  • Private equity investors and operators
  • Active small business acquisition professionals
