Buying one business. Running it for the long term.
If you have spent years building something in the Chicago area and are starting to think about what comes next, Talos would like to hear from you.
One conversation, no obligation, held in confidence.
Who Talos is
Talos exists to buy and operate one exceptional, privately held business, and to run it for decades.
This is not a fund buying its fourteenth company. One business, with all of the attention that your company deserves.
What stays the same
Selling does not have to mean losing what you built.
The team comes first
The people who built the business remain at the heart of it as it grows.
The name stays
The name on the building and the relationships behind it carry forward.
The standards stay
What made the business worth buying is the reason to leave it alone.
Owners can stay involved or step back, on a timeline that works for them.

Talos is looking for a profitable Chicagoland business with steady customers and a strong reputation.
