Looking to Sell Your Business?
At Timah, we partner with owners who care deeply — about their business, their people, and the legacy they leave behind.
Not a Fund. Not a Flipper. Just Builders.
We understand how personal your business is. You've built something from scratch — supported your team like family, earned trust in your market, and weathered good years and hard ones. You’re not just looking to “sell out.” You want to pass it on the right way.
When we acquire a company,
we commit to its long-term future.

FAQ
What exactly is a permanent holding company?
A permanent holding company is built to own and operate businesses for the long term. Unlike private equity or search funds, we don’t buy to sell. We acquire great companies and remain invested — continuing to build on the legacy that founders have spent decades creating.
Do you acquire 100% of my business? What happens after the sale — do you stay involved or expect me to?
Our model is designed for founders who are ready to retire — either now or soon. We aim to acquire the vast majority or 100% of your business, and take on full operational responsibility, working closely with you on a smooth, respectful transition. In many cases, we bring in a CEO from our CEO Succession Program (CSP) who’s been groomed to lead the next chapter with continuity and care.
How do you fund acquisitions?
We have permanent capital from investors who founded and built some of the world’s best holding companies — including Danaher, TransDigm, and 3G Capital — along with a select group of value-added family offices. We also work closely with local banks, family offices, and sometimes sellers themselves for debt financing. This flexibility allows us to move quickly and close with confidence.
What happens to my team and culture?
We’re here to protect what made your business special — not dismantle it. We work closely with your team, preserve what’s working, and make thoughtful improvements over time. Your employees, customers, and culture matter to us — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Will you eventually sell my business?
Our intention is not to sell. We acquire businesses with a long-term mindset and aim to hold them for decades. In rare cases, we may consider an exit — for example, if a business turns out not to be as enduring or high-quality as we believed. But that’s the exception, not the plan. We’re not portfolio managers. We’re permanent stewards.
