I'm Jeff Makray — and I'm looking to acquire and personally run one exceptional small business. Not a fund. Not a flip. Just a committed owner-operator ready to continue what you've built.
What I'm Looking For
I'm focused on stable, profitable businesses where the owner is ready for their next chapter. Here's my target profile:
💰 Revenue
$1.0M – $5.0M annual revenue
📈 Financials
Profitable and growing with a track record
🏢 Stability
Established business with loyal customers
👤 Ownership
Owner currently operates as GM or executive
Why Sell to Me
You're selling to an operator, not a fund
I will personally run the business and want to build on your success smartly without short term mandates. I have 15 years of hands-on experience across finance, sales, and operations — I've owned a P&L, carried a sales quota, and managed teams big and small.
Your team and reputation matter to me
My goal is to preserve what's working — your employees, your customer relationships, your vendor partnerships, and the name you've spent years building.
Straightforward, respectful process
Clear communication, honest conversations, and a genuine focus on reaching a real outcome — not wasting your time.
Flexible transition on your terms
Depending on the opportunity we could get you a quick exit or keep you involved.
A ready, qualified buyer at your door
I'm investing my own capital, pre-approved by banks for purchase financing, and experienced in navigating transactions from start to close.
How It Works
A simple, transparent process designed to respect your time and get to a real outcome.
Intro Call
A conversation to see if there's a fit — completely confidential.
Review Financials
A high-level look at the numbers to confirm mutual interest.
Meet in Person
We get to know each other and walk through the business together.
Submit Offer
I put a clear, fair offer on the table.
Diligence & Close
We work through due diligence together and get to the finish line.
Ready to connect?
Reach out directly — I respond personally to every inquiry. Whether you're ready to sell now or just exploring your options down the road — I welcome the conversation. All discussions are completely confidential.
