BUSINESS OWNERS

Grow Your Legacy to the Next Level

Millpond strives to be the partner of choice for entrepreneurs and business owners seeking a partner with the resources, experience, and responsiveness to grow their business to its full potential. We have the flexibility to support entrepreneurs and business owners who seek an ownership and executive transition from their business, including an immediate exit post-closing, a gradual retirement and/or board of director’s role over multiple years, a continued day-to-day executive leadership role, or any combination thereof.

We firmly believe that every business and situation is unique, and as such, we approach transactions with flexibility to structure relationships to achieve the personal and professional goals of our potential partners. Moreover, we fully appreciate that culture plays a vital role in the success of the businesses that we partner with, and we take great care to ensure that we preserve the cultural elements that have led to the success achieved by our potential partner companies.

“I was looking for a Partner like Millpond to assist my family’s business in its next phase of growth. From initial introduction, they listened to our objectives and structured a transaction consistent with those goals. Post-close, they provide the guidance and resources we need to help take our business to the next level. Their assistance in the areas of sales and marketing, finance, organizational development, supply chain management and IT have been invaluable.”
