Our approach is grounded in a profound understanding of how operational strategy, effective technology integration, and empowered teams collectively drive success.

We seek to partner with businesses that have a strong foundation in place and a commitment to ongoing success. Kaizen Collective brings expertise in optimizing sales and operational capabilities, leveraging innovative process improvements and technology to enhance efficiency and drive strategic growth, thereby sustaining and building upon the success achieved by previous ownership. We believe in honoring the culture and values that made a business successful, working alongside owners and their teams to implement thoughtful, impactful changes that ensure an enduring foundation for future success, one step at a time. Our focus is on long-term value creation, helping companies thrive by continuously improving and adapting in an ever-changing market.

We are focused on acquiring established B2B and B2C businesses with $600,000–$1.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA across various sectors, including retail, wholesale distribution, manufacturing, and e-commerce. We also consider technology-driven companies that apply AI to enhance workflows or customer experiences.

Our ideal targets have a strong operational foundation and growth potential, where we can step in as a strategic partner, either running the business directly or installing experienced operators. We focus on opportunities where there is ample room to support professional management, cover debt obligations, and reinvest in long-term growth and working capital.
