25x30 Acquisitions purchases established, profitable companies directly from their owners — no listing, no auction, no middlemen taking a cut of your life's work.
If you've spent years building something real and you're thinking about what comes next, we'd like to have a private conversation. No pressure, no obligation, and nothing shared with anyone.
Have a Confidential ConversationMost owners who sell through a listing process end up with strangers picking through their business, employees hearing rumors, and a broker fee coming off the top. There's another way: one buyer, one conversation, on your timeline.
No public listing. No sign in the window. Your employees, customers, and competitors hear nothing until you decide they should. We sign an NDA before we see a single number.
A brokered sale typically costs the seller 8–12% of the price. Selling direct means that money stays in the deal — and in your pocket.
We'll tell you quickly and honestly whether your business is a fit, and if it is, exactly how we'd value it and why. No stringing you along for months.
We buy businesses to run and grow them — not to strip them down. Your employees and the reputation you built matter to what we're buying, and we treat both that way.
Full sale, majority sale, seller financing, a transition period that fits your life — we structure around what you actually want, not a one-size-fits-all template.
We invest our own capital, sign personally on the financing, and work with established lenders. When we make an offer, we intend to close it.
We look for solid companies with a track record — the kind of business that doesn't make headlines but makes payroll every week and profits every year. We're not chasing a narrow checklist: quality matters more to us than category. If this sounds like yours, we should talk even if you're not sure you're ready to sell.
Close but not exact? Reach out anyway. Strong businesses just outside these ranges are worth a conversation.
Selling a business you've spent decades building shouldn't feel like a mystery. Here is exactly what working with us looks like.
A confidential call — 30 minutes, no documents required. You tell us about the business and what you want; we tell you honestly whether it could be a fit.
We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share anything. Then we review basic financials — the same records your accountant already prepares.
If it's a fit, you get a written offer with the price, the structure, and the reasoning behind both. We'll walk you through every line, and you should absolutely have your attorney and accountant do the same.
We confirm the details, finalize financing, and work with your advisors to close — typically within 90 days of an accepted offer. You'll know where things stand at every step.
Some owners want to hand over the keys and head to the lake. Others want to stay involved for a year or two. Either works — we plan the transition around you, your team, and your customers.
25x30 Acquisitions was founded by Matt Tucker, a Pittsburgh-based CEO and operator with more than two decades in healthcare and technology — from global companies like Baxter, Mylan, and Highmark Health to startups he helped build from zero revenue to commercial scale.
Matt has spent his career on the operating side of business: launching products, building sales teams, integrating acquisitions, and running companies. That matters to you for a simple reason — he's evaluating your business as someone who will actually run it, not as a line item in a portfolio.
When we buy a business, we put our own money in and our own name on the loan. We answer to the employees who stay, the customers who trust the company, and the seller whose name is often still on the door.
You'll deal with a principal from the first call to the closing table — never a call center, an analyst reading a script, or a committee you'll never meet.
Most of what's written for business owners about selling is vague on the parts that actually decide the outcome. These guides aren't. They include the arithmetic buyers use to price a business, what really lands in your account versus the headline number, and a scored test you can run on your own company this afternoon. No email required — just download them.
A 20-question scored assessment: what happens to your business if you're gone for 60 days? It's the first thing buyers evaluate, and the most fixable. Includes a 24-month roadmap.
