What does Chiefs of Story do?
We invest in service-based businesses. This includes full acquisitions, equity investments, or business-advising partnerships.
How do I qualify for an investment offer?
We keep it simple. To qualify, your business just needs to meet three basic criteria:
-
Service-based business
-
Established for at least 5 years
-
Generating $500,000+ in annual revenue
That’s it.
You don’t need perfect books or flawless operations. Whether your business is thriving or things are a bit messy, we’re open to a conversation. If we see the potential to turn your business into a strong brand with room to grow, we’re interested.
We’re not looking for perfect — we’re looking for potential.
What types of businesses do you invest in?
We invest in service-based businesses of all kinds. From professional services to home services and everything in between.
In short, you're a fit if your business depends primarily on humans delivering a service.
What size businesses do you typically invest in?
We invest in service businesses that earn $ 500,000 to $25 million in revenue. But we care more about your growth potential than your size.
For investment, do I have to turn over control?
No. We offer full acquisitions and strategic partnerships for equity. This depends on what fits your goals.
Does Chiefs of Story have programs or courses I can buy?
No. We don’t sell programs, courses, or consulting services. We invest in and buy service-based businesses.
The one exception is our Exit-Ready training day. It's an on-site day offered to select businesses looking to grow into an exit-ready brand.
What does the investment process look like?
Step 1: Kickstart the conversation:
Shoot us an email and we’ll get you on the calendar for a quick call. During the call, we ask a few questions to learn more about your story, business, and transition goals.
Step 2: Get your Exit-Ready Blueprint:
After the call, we’ll crunch the numbers, conduct some research, and create an exit-ready plan outlining our strategy for growing the company.
We’ll then send you a copy of the exit-ready growth plan for FREE, no strings attached. It’s our way of saying thank you for taking the time to speak with us.
Step 3: Receive an investment offer:
And if we see alignment or opportunity, we’ll also send over an investment offer. It might be an offer to buy, an equity investment, or a growth partnership.
How long does it take to get an investment offer?
We typically complete the Exit-Ready Blueprint and offer within 3-5 days after our initial call.
What if I'm ready to sell my business?
That’s okay! We created Exit-Ready Weekly. It’s a free newsletter filled with valuable strategies to help service businesses grow smarter, get stronger, and prepare for an exit in 2-5 years.
