For most founders, selling their business isn’t just a financial transaction—it’s very personal.
You’ve poured years, often decades, into building something meaningful. You’ve hired carefully, grown responsibly, and created a company that supports not just your family but the families of your employees and customers. So when it comes time to sell, the biggest question isn’t just “What’s my multiple?”, it’s “What happens after I’m gone?”
At Sixty74, we understand that. Because we don’t just buy businesses—we steward them.
Sellers Want Continuity. Buyers Often Offer Disruption.
Too many business sales end in disappointment, not because of the deal structure, but because the post-sale reality doesn’t match the seller’s expectations. Teams get let go. Culture evaporates. What was once a thriving business turns into a bolt-on, a spreadsheet line item, or worse, a failed turnaround experiment.
We’ve seen it firsthand. And we’re determined to do it differently.
Stewardship Means Caring About the Business the Way You Do
We believe the best businesses in America are founder-led and built from the ground up. They’ve succeeded not through venture capital or financial engineering, but through grit, community, and long-term thinking.
When we acquire a company, we don’t look for ways to strip it down or flip it fast. We look for ways to nurture it. Grow it. Build on what made it successful in the first place. Our mission is to protect the foundation while helping the business scale responsibly and sustainably.
That means:
-
Retaining great employees and giving them room to grow.
-
Respecting customer relationships and honoring what made them loyal.
-
Listening to what the founder built—not rewriting it from scratch.
Legacy Is More Than a Name
For many sellers, legacy means ensuring the business not only survives but also thrives. They want their brand, their people, and their customers to be in good hands.
That’s where we come in.
Our team has deep operating experience. We know what it takes to lead a team, manage day-to-day decisions, and drive smart, measurable growth. We don’t instantly reinvent the wheel. We work side by side with existing leadership and gradually step in when the time is right.
Why Brokers Like Working With Us
For brokers, a buyer like Sixty74 provides peace of mind. You can confidently introduce us to your clients knowing:
-
We move with integrity, clarity, and decisiveness.
-
We care about long-term success, not short-term flips.
-
We work efficiently, communicate openly, and deliver on our commitments.
That’s why more brokers are bringing us opportunities when the seller cares about more than just top-dollar.
The Bottom Line: Choose a Steward, Not Just a Buyer
If you’re a seller thinking about what comes next—or a broker representing someone who is—consider what really matters.
Your business is your legacy. When it’s time to pass the torch, choose someone who will protect that legacy, not repurpose it. At Sixty74, we’re not building an empire—we’re building a portfolio of companies we’re proud to own, grow, and carry forward.
If that resonates with you, let’s talk.
