Here at Kept, we owe much of our success to the more than 120 companies we've acquired over the years. Each has brought us tremendous value, helping us expand our workforce and our offerings. As business owners ourselves, we know what it takes to build a company from the ground up. And, we know how scary it can be to take the jump into a new phase. It's why we take time to listen to what owners want from their acquisition and give them real options for their company's future.
When Kept acquires a business, we don't liquidate or take over. We understand the importance of honoring legacy and creating a shared vision for the future. Businesses that we have acquired continue to operate, sometimes with great autonomy. Business systems that you have set in place may continue, or even grow, and become incorporated into the conglomerate of Kept Companies' operations as best practices.
Our years of experience, both in building our business and in merging and acquiring vertical businesses, gives the Kept team a unique perspective. We listen to what is important to you, the business owner, and work to understand the needs of your business team.
Deciding to sell your company can be difficult. After meeting the founders of Kept, I observed a commitment to quality, respect for their team, recognition of the value of my team, and a desire to grow. We have grown 40% with the support of Kept. We are so grateful for the opportunity to grow with Kept. We are all winning.
Our employees are the backbone of what we do. Which is why your existing team will always be a key part of our conversations. At Kept, we can offer your employees opportunities to grow and be promoted within the company.
I was a point in life where I needed to reduce my stress. I loved running my business, but I didn't like the stress of payroll, cashflow, and legal. At Kept, I still run my business, but those stresses are gone.
All our acquisition discussions begin with just that – a discussion. Not by a group of outside consultants, but a discussion between business owners. We will not initiate any conversations about your business without a non-disclosure form signed by each party. Your form will be read directly by our Kept founders, who respond back within a few days to discuss next steps.
My employees have benefited from our joining forces with Kept. They gained knowledge and expanded their capabilities. Some have even found opportunities for advancement within Kept.
