Your trusted small business capital partner
Henrietta Street Partners seeks to acquire, operate, and grow essential services businesses generating $2-7mm in earnings. We partner with leading business owner / operators to provide them with the capital and expertise required to take their businesses to the next level.
The Great Transition:
It is estimated that ~$10 trillion of small businesses in the U.S. will exchange hands before the end of this decade as a wave of baby boomer entrepreneurs retire - we call this the Great Transition. These businesses are the backbone of our economy, employing a high degree of the American workforce, and they deserve to flourish for generations to come. Unfortunately, many of these great companies may become extinct due to a lack of succession plan... We can't stand by to watch that happen. 
Our Promise:
We are dedicated to playing an active role in the successful growth of U.S. small businesses and their employees. We understand your business is an extension of your family, which is why we named ourselves after the street we first lived on as a family (Henrietta).
We will treat your business as if it has been one of our own from the start - investing in and committing to its growth, its employees, customers, partners, and communities for the long run with no obligation to sell the business ourselves at any point in time.
Rest assured, your business legacy and the well being of your workforce will find long term success with us.
We focus on these types of services based businesses:
-
Size:
$5-50 million in revenue with a minimum of $2 million in profit.
-
Industry:
Essential services whereby the product offering is a “need to have” vs. a “nice to have”. Prime examples include business and consumer services with a focus on home services such as hvac, plumbing, pest control, etc.
-
Customer Base:
Low customer concentration / high degree of repeat customers or contractual revenue.
-
Profitable History:
At least 5-years of sustained profitability with signs of growth each year.
-
Management:
We will assume an advisory role supporting the existing management team, which we ask to commit to staying onboard and accelerating growth.
-
Reason for Selling:
Most often to buy out passive shareholders, take some chips off the table and bring in growth capital for the next chapter.
Our Founder
Matt McGarry, Founder, grew up in Metro Detroit, his father a controller in the automotive industry and mother a teacher. After college, he spent time in New York and Chicago before setting down roots in Southeast Michigan to raise a family of his own and dedicate his career to the advancement of local small businesses, their employees, and their customers.
Previously, Matt spent nearly 15-years in various professional services organizations such as The Royal Bank of Scotland, KeyBanc Capital Markets, MATH Venture Partners, and Accelerated Assets. He served as an advisor, investor, and small business manager helping companies of all sizes maximize value through strategic and financial initiatives.
Matt earned his BS in Finance from Miami University and MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where he was a Zell Fellow focused on Entrepreneurship through Acquisition.
If you are looking for Matt outside of the office, he is on a date night with his wife, playing street hockey with his sons, or on the golf course, ski slopes, or ice rink - depending on the season.
“All good men and women must take responsibility to create legacies that will take the next generation to a level we could only imagine.”
