PLAYBOOKS

Practical operating guides for buying and building exceptional small businesses.

Playbooks are the practical operating guides we use to build our companies. We publish them to share what we’re learning in the trenches — the systems, habits, and decisions that compound over a long hold.

Because we operate at the bottom of the lower middle market, we see repeatable patterns across industries. A good idea in one SMB often becomes an unfair advantage in the next. These playbooks are how we capture those lessons and cross-pollinate them across our portfolio.
