We know how hard you have worked to create, manage, and grow your business. You’ve wrangled suppliers, trained employees, and served customers for years - there’s a lot to be proud of. But after all these years, maybe it’s time to start your next project or move on to retirement. What happens to the business you’ve spent years of your life growing? We want to acquire a business and continue the legacy of a business owner who is ready to move on but is not ready to hand their company off to a faceless investor or fund. That’s why we put our faces front and center - we are two entrepreneurs with experience operating and growing small businesses, looking to take on the legacy of a business owner and take the same level of personal care that got the company to where it is today. Thank you for visiting Chaparral Capital. We’d love to start a conversation if you are looking for partners to purchase your business and continue your legacy. ​ - Anthony Conyers and Derek Turner, Managing Partners
