Small businesses are as unique as the people who run them — which means these criteria aren’t set in stone. If you think your business, or one you know, might be a good fit, I’d welcome the chance to connect.
What I’m Looking For
At Queen City Continuity, I’m focused on acquiring and operating a small business that’s deeply rooted in its community, with a legacy worth preserving and growing. I’m not a private equity firm — I’m a long-term owner-operator committed to continuity, stability, and people.
