Who we service

We service business owners who have strong gross margins, or the opportunity of strong gross margins, online. This includes the info space, ecommerce, and more.

Margin is the filter because it sets what a business can do next. An owner who keeps most of each dollar can buy customers, absorb a slow month, and carry a loan on the schedule we would write. An owner who keeps little of it can run the same business just as well and still have nothing left to put back in. The second half of that first sentence carries as much weight as the first: an operation underpricing its work, or selling an offer that has drifted from what customers actually pay for, has margin available and has not collected it yet.

In practice that means information products and education, ecommerce on owned storefronts and on marketplaces, small subscription software, service work being packaged into something repeatable, and content properties earning through sponsorship or referral. The category matters less than the economics, and an owner who is still in the business day to day matters more than either.

Where we are not a fit

Pre-revenue ideas, businesses whose margins cannot carry either a loan or a management fee, and owners who would rather hand a problem over than work through it. Describe the business in the contact form if you want a read on which of these applies.
