A private conversation

Someone to hand it to,
Someone to hand it to,
not to wind it up.
Thirty years of work should not end with a closing-down sign and a van sold on marketplace. Usually the business is sound and there is simply nobody to take it on.

How we work
A Florida company, buying with its own money
DI2 Ventures LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of Florida, document number L09000053542, filed in 2009, with registration details on public record with the Florida Division of Corporations.
We buy for our own account and we run what we buy. We are not business brokers: we do not list businesses, represent sellers or take commissions, and we never charge an owner a fee for being considered. We are not registered with the SEC, take no investor funds and offer no securities. Every seller should have their own attorney and accountant, and we will say so before you ask.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Do you charge owners anything?
Never. Not to talk, not to be assessed, not at completion. Anyone asking a retiring owner for an upfront fee is running a different kind of business.
Will my staff lose their jobs?
That is the opposite of why we buy. The staff are most of what we are buying — they hold the knowledge and the customer relationships.
Will you change the name?
Usually not. A name customers have trusted for twenty years is an asset, and replacing it with ours would be destroying value we just paid for.
Can I invest alongside you?
No. We use our own capital and accept no outside funds. There is no offering here of any kind.
Are you business brokers?
No. We buy for ourselves. We do not list businesses, represent sellers or charge commission — and you should still get your own attorney.
How long does it take?
Months rather than weeks, mostly spent on diligence and documentation. We will give you an honest timeline instead of an encouraging one.
Thinking about stepping back?
A confidential conversation, no fee, and a straight answer either way.
