A simple, confidential, respectful process.
Most owners I talk with have never sold a business before. My process is built around that — clear steps, honest conversations, and protection for everything you've built.
Intro Conversation
A confidential, low-pressure call to learn about your business and what matters most to you in a transition. No commitments, no paperwork.
Confidential Review
If there's mutual interest, I sign a simple NDA and review high-level financials together. Your team and customers never know I'm talking with you.
Simple Offer Process
I work toward a clear, fair offer with straightforward terms — no surprise repricing late in the process. Flexible structure, including seller financing if useful.
Smooth Transition
I design the handoff around you — whether that's a few weeks or a multi-year involvement. The priority is continuity for the team and customers.
Common questions from owners.
Are you a broker?
No. I'm the buyer and the future operator. There's no third party between us, and no commission driving the conversation.
Are you a private equity firm?
No. MG Service Capital is not a fund. There are no outside investors expecting a quick return, no portfolio playbook, and no pressure to flip the business. It's just me, Glenn Ryan.
Why are you only looking for one business?
Because great businesses deserve hands-on attention. I'd rather find the right company in Southern California and spend years investing in it than build a portfolio of companies I can only manage from a distance. One business, run well, for the long term.
Will my employees stay?
That's the goal — and frankly, the reason most acquisitions like this work. Long-tenured teams are what makes a service business valuable. My plan is to invest in them, not replace them.
Can I remain involved after the sale?
Absolutely, if you'd like to. Some owners want a clean break; others want to consult, mentor, or stay involved in customer relationships for a period of time. I'll structure it around what works for you.
How quickly can you close?
Typically 60–120 days from initial conversation to closing, depending on diligence and financing. I move thoughtfully, not aggressively.
Do you use SBA financing?
Yes, SBA financing is one tool I use. It's well-suited to owner-operator acquisitions of established service businesses.
Do you work with seller financing?
Yes — and it's often a useful part of the structure. It can improve overall terms and signals shared confidence in the future of the business.
Will you keep the company name and brand?
In almost every case, yes. I believe the name, brand, and reputation are a meaningful part of what makes the business valuable. I want customers to experience continuity, not a rebrand.
Will you change how the business operates?
Not overnight, and not for the sake of change. My first priority is learning the business from the inside and protecting what already works. Over time, I look for thoughtful improvements — better tools, smoother processes, steadier marketing — that support the team rather than disrupt it.
How do you think about growth?
Patiently. I believe most growth comes from doing the core work a little better every year, taking good care of existing customers, and carefully expanding into adjacent services or nearby areas of Southern California when it makes sense. I'm not trying to scale aggressively or chase short-term numbers.
Will customer relationships be maintained?
Yes. Long-standing customer relationships are one of the most valuable parts of a service business. My intention is to honor them and continue the same standard of service they've come to expect.
