Axiom Capital Group | Helping Founders Take Liquidity, Preserve Legacy, and Build Something Bigger

What does Axiom Capital Group do?

Axiom Capital Group is a private investment firm that partners with founders of essential, cash-flowing businesses. We specialize in acquiring majority stakes in well-run companies while keeping owners involved to help scale the next chapter. Our approach delivers real liquidity now — without sacrificing your legacy or future upside.

What kinds of businesses do you invest in?

We focus on essential services businesses with $1M to $5M in EBITDA, typically in industries like:

  • HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Services

  • Landscaping and Outdoor Maintenance

  • Roofing, Construction, and General Contracting

  • Pool Services and Specialty Trades

If your company has strong recurring revenue, loyal customers, and solid cash flow, we’d love to talk.

Do I have to sell 100% of my business?

Not at all. In fact, most founders we work with retain 20% ownership and stay on as CEO or transition into an advisory role. You get liquidity now and participate in the upside as we scale the company together.

What does the transaction process look like?

We make the process simple, respectful, and confidential. A typical timeline:

  1. Introductory Call — Quick, confidential conversation

  2. Exploration Phase — Financial review and fit assessment

  3. Letter of Intent (LOI) — Structure and valuation terms

  4. Due Diligence — 45–60 days

  5. Close and Transition — You get paid, retain equity, and we hit the ground running

We often use SBA 7(a) financing to structure efficient deals for founders — without outside capital required from your end.

What is a majority recapitalization?

A majority recap is when a founder sells a majority (typically 70-90%) of their business while retaining minority ownership. This allows you to take chips off the table, reduce risk, and bring on a growth partner — without walking away.

How is Axiom different from other private equity firms?

We bring the strategic firepower of top-tier firms — operational playbooks, pricing strategy, margin expansion, and tech enablement — but tailor it to fit the unique DNA of founder-led businesses. You stay in control. We bring the horsepower.

What’s the benefit of rolling over equity into NewCo?

Think of it as your “second bite at the apple.” You get paid upfront for the majority of your business, and your retained ownership rides the upside as we scale — often creating more wealth in the second chapter than the first.

Will my company’s name, brand, or culture change?

No. We invest in what you’ve built. We preserve your company’s name, brand identity, and core values while bringing resources to help you grow faster and stronger.

I’m ready to retire. Can I step away completely?

Yes. While we often prefer to partner with founders who want to stay involved, we can structure full buyouts with thoughtful succession plans. If you’ve built something great and are ready to move on, we’ll help make that transition smooth — and valuable.

How does Axiom help grow the businesses it acquires?

We bring resources and expertise across:

  • Cross-sell & upsell strategies across related services

  • Financial controls, pricing optimization, and cost management

  • Talent development and leadership support

  • Technology enablement (billing, scheduling, customer comms)

  • Strategic add-on acquisitions to build platforms

We don’t just write checks — we help companies scale with precision.
