Long-term business partnership.
What is Inwood Creek?
Inwood Creek Capital was founded to acquire or partner with a small-to-midsize business. Our approach is to make an investment in a company, help operate the business day-to-day, and find ways to better support the team long term.Inwood Creek offers a unique succession plan for owners who may be looking to retire in the near term, or a great partnership option for those who want to continue operating their business for the long haul.

Advisors
Inwood Creek is backed by a group of advisors who have years of experience helping small businesses. They bring a wealth of industry knowledge and consistently try to support companies with introductions, referrals, and resources. Deciding to sell your business or partner with someone is a big decision, and we understand it’ll take time to get to know each other. We pride ourselves on being straight shooters, taking care of the people we work with, and listening to how we can improve. We can pursue flexible deals tailored to owners' needs and are capable of investing over $25 million.
What to Expect
Inwood Creek makes an investment in your business and becomes a true partner to you and your team.
While owners can stay involved and lead their business, we also recognize some owners may want to step away or reduce their hours over time. We can help create a succession plan or exit plan when needed to ensure your long-term needs are met.
A key priority for us is the continued development of teams. We will assist you in recruiting top talent that helps expand your business and provide ample growth opportunities for your existing employees.
Our intention is to help operate your business for the long haul, really getting to know your team, customers, and community.
Our Process
Intro Meeting - We will meet for an introductory call or video chat to learn more about you and your business.
Exchange of Information - Inwood Creek would then request limited information to learn more about the company. Any information you share will be kept confidential.
Outlining the Deal - Assuming both sides remain interested in pursuing a transaction, we would agree on the terms of the acquisition or partnership. Jeff will also spend time with you in person so we can continue getting to know each other.
Due Diligence - At that point, due diligence begins and legal documentation can be drafted. This process typically takes 60-90 days.
Closing - Legal documents are signed, funds are wired, and we begin helping operate the business alongside your team.
