Searching for a Great Small Business

I'm Ben Owliaie — a Cincinnati-area business owner looking to acquire one good, stable company and become a genuine part of the community it's already built. Not a fund. Not a flipper. Just a hands-on owner committed to what you've created.

Owner-Operator · Cincinnati, OH

Small business owner, educator, and community member. I'm looking for one great business to run — not a portfolio to manage.

What I'm Looking For

Acquisition Criteria

Clear focus, one business, close to home. I want to be present every day — not a distant owner making decisions from afar.

Geography

Southwest Ohio, Northern Kentucky, or Southeast Indiana — close enough that I can be present, involved, and accountable to the team every day.

🤝

Transition-Ready Owner

Seller willing to train and stay involved for 3–6 months. I want to learn the business properly and honor what you've built.

⚙️

Established Operations

A team in place, loyal customers, and systems that work. I'm here to grow what's already good — not rebuild from the ground up.

💰

Stable Financials

Consistent revenue between $500K and $2M with positive EBITDA. I'm not looking for a turnaround — I'm looking for a strong foundation.
