Why Work With Queen City Continuity

At Queen City Continuity, we’re committed to carrying forward the legacy of great small businesses in the Carolinas. We’re not a private equity firm, and we’re not interested in quick flips or mass consolidation. We’re here to take the baton from a retiring owner and lead their business into its next chapter—with care, with respect, and with continuity.

Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Long-Term Ownership, Not a Quick Exit
We’re focused on buying and operating a single great business—not building a portfolio. That means no rushed exits, no financial engineering—just long-term stewardship and growth.

2. A Local, Hands-On Approach
Based in Charlotte, we are deeply committed to the local business community and understand the value of relationships, reputation, and doing things the right way.

3. Owner-Friendly Transitions
We know that selling a business is personal. Whether you want to exit right away or gradually transition over time, we’ll work with you to structure a plan that protects your team, your customers, and your legacy.

4. Experienced, Operational Leadership
Queen City Continuity is led by Jeffrey Desvignes, a CPA, U.S. Army veteran, and experienced financial and operations executive with over a decade of leadership in industrial and manufacturing businesses. He brings a boots-on-the-ground mindset and is just as comfortable on the shop floor as in the boardroom.

5. Speed, Certainty, and Discretion
We move with integrity, efficiency, and confidentiality. When we say we’re serious, we mean it—and we’ll show up prepared to close.
