“The Business Case for Immigration: Filling Critical Workforce Gaps For Private Equity and Family Offices After Acquisition”
How SuccessionMatching is shaping the next evolution of business buying and selling by integrating workforce solutions into acquisitions.
“We can’t find enough plumbers!”
This was the response we received when pitching a rollup of 11 HVAC companies to private equity firms on our marketplace.
After acquiring service-based businesses, private equity firms and family offices often face a major challenge: finding skilled workers who not only understand the business but also have the capability and entrepreneurial mindset to operate it effectively as a local owner-operator would. Entrepreneurship is more than just a skill, it’s a mindset. The best way to ensure a business thrives post-acquisition is to place it in the hands of someone with real operational experience.
Immigration remains a hot-button topic, but instead of broad discussions, we’re taking a focused approach and identifying highly skilled entrepreneurs who were forced to leave their home countries and businesses due to extenuating circumstances.
One such success story and our own inspiration
A restaurant owner in Syria, Tarek had to start over when he arrived in Alberta, Canada, taking on entry-level jobs despite his experience. Accessing financing after leaving everything behind was a significant hurdle. SuccessionMatching was able to help him secure financing and ownership of Bluerock Gallery, and the growth the company has seen since has been incredible.
Private equity firms struggle to scale when they lack operators, while displaced entrepreneurs often lack access to capital. This new project led by SuccessionMatching bridges this gap.
By partnering with industry leaders, we have streamlined the process. The first step is identifying businesses on our marketplace, matching them with private equity firms, and then we bring in skilled, hardworking operators to take the reins.
Our formal launch is set for April 2025.
