Who we are

Founded by Alex Rossman; an accomplished founder, investor, and operating partner with deep experience acquiring and building companies across the Pacific Northwest. He started this company to back the heavy-duty towing operators who keep the region's freight moving and to make sure their legacies are preserved, not erased.


We're building the Pacific Northwest's leading heavy-duty towing and recovery platform, one family-owned business at a time. We're not "spreadsheet guys," we're operators who respect what you've built and want to carry it forward.

Confidential Call

Timeline: 30 minutes · No obligation


It starts with a conversation, not a pitch deck. We'll spend 30 minutes learning about your business, your story, and what matters most to you in a transition — whether that's protecting your crew, preserving your name, or making sure your customers are taken care of.

You'll learn who we are, how we work, and whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll tell you and point you toward someone who is.


What you'll need: Nothing. No financials, no documents. Just a phone call.


What stays confidential: Everything. We won't contact your employees, customers, competitors, or anyone in the industry without your written permission.

Information Exchange

Timeline: 2-3 weeks · Mutual NDA in place


Once we both want to move forward, we'll sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement and exchange the information we each need to put a real offer together.


What we'll ask for:

  • 3 years of tax returns and P&Ls
  • Equipment list and fleet condition overview
  • Key contracts (motor clubs, rotation lists, commercial accounts)
  • General overview of your team and operations


What we'll share:

  • Who we are and who's behind us
  • How we structure deals
  • References from prior sellers and partners
  • A preliminary valuation range based on your numbers


What we won't do: Drag this out. You'll know within 2-3 weeks whether we're making an offer and what it looks like.

Letter of Intent

Timeline: Offer within 2-3 weeks of info exchange


If the numbers and the fit are right, we'll deliver a written Letter of Intent (LOI) that lays out exactly what we're proposing — purchase price, deal structure, transition terms, and what stays the same after closing.


What's in the LOI:

  • Purchase price and how it's paid (cash, seller note, rollover equity, etc.)
  • Treatment of your real estate (purchase or lease-back)
  • Commitments around your name, crew, and location
  • Your role and timeline post-closing
  • Clear next steps and timing


What makes our LOIs different: No bait-and-switch. The price we put in the LOI is the price we close at, barring something material we didn't know going in. Ask any seller who's been through a deal that re-traded at the last minute — it's the #1 thing they wish they'd avoided.

We encourage you to have an attorney and accountant review it. If you don't have one, we can recommend professionals who work with towing owners (and who work for you, not us).

Close & Transition

Timeline: 60-90 days to close · Transition based on mutually agreeable timeline


Once the LOI is signed, we move into final due diligence and closing. Our team handles the heavy lifting — we know what we're looking at, and we won't bury you in document requests.


What happens between LOI and closing:

  • Confirmatory financial and operational due diligence
  • Equipment and real estate inspections
  • Legal documentation and contract assignments
  • Transition planning with you and your key people


What happens at closing:

  • You receive your funds (wired, same day)
  • Ownership transfers cleanly
  • Your team is informed together, with you, on terms you approve
  • Customers and partners get a coordinated message


What happens after closing — this is the part most buyers get wrong:

  • Your name stays on the door
  • Your crew keeps their jobs, their pay, and their benefits
  • Your yard stays operational
  • You step back on the timeline you chose — whether that's 60 days or two years


The goal isn't to strip what you built — it's to build on it.

FAQ

  • Will my drivers keep their jobs?

    Yes. Your drivers, dispatchers, and shop staff are part of what makes your business valuable — we have no interest in replacing them. In every acquisition, we commit in writing to keeping your team employed at their current pay and benefits.


    In most cases, your people end up better off after closing. We invest in newer equipment, better systems, and growth that creates more opportunity — not less. Your senior drivers and dispatchers often take on expanded roles as we grow the platform.


    The only people whose roles typically change are owners who want to step back. And that's by choice, on your timeline.

  • Will you change the name?

    No. The name you built carries decades of trust with police rotation lists, motor clubs, fleet customers, and the local community. Changing it would be foolish — and disrespectful to what you've built.


    Your name stays on the trucks, the building, and the invoices. Over time, we may add a small "a [Parent Company] partner" line on marketing materials to signal you're part of a larger network with deeper resources, but the brand you built remains the brand customers see.

  • How do you value my business?

    We use a straightforward, industry-standard approach: a multiple of your free cashflow. 


    What drives a higher valuation:


    • Strong rotation list placements and commercial contracts

    Well-maintained heavy equipment (rotators, heavy wreckers)


    Owned real estate and secure storage yards


    Clean books and consistent revenue


    Experienced drivers with low turnover


    What we adjust for in your favor:


    Owner compensation above market rate


    One-time expenses that won't continue


    Personal expenses run through the business (vehicles, travel, etc.)


    Family members on payroll above market roles


    We'll walk you through exactly how we arrive at our number — no black box, no surprises. If you disagree with an assumption, we'll talk about it.

  • What happens to my building and equipment?

    You have options, and we'll work with what makes sense for you.


    For your real estate:


    We can purchase the property outright at fair market value


    We can lease it back from you on a long-term basis (great recurring income for retirement)


    We can structure a combination — whatever fits your tax and estate planning


    For your equipment:


    All trucks, wreckers, rotators, and shop equipment transfer with the business


    We invest in maintenance and replacement — your fleet typically improves after closing


    Personal vehicles or equipment you want to keep stay with you


    Many sellers prefer the lease-back option because it provides steady retirement income while we take operational responsibility for the building.

  • Will you talk to my competitors about me?

    No. Absolutely not.


    Before we exchange any sensitive information, we sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement. We don't contact your employees, your customers, your competitors, or anyone in the industry about you without your written permission.


    Even after we close a deal, the financial details and personal terms remain confidential. We've done this enough times to know that discretion isn't just a courtesy — it's how trust gets built and reputations get protected.


    If you want to tell your story your way, on your timing, we support that. If you'd rather we never mention the transaction at all, we'll honor that too.

  • How long does the process take?

    From first call to closing: typically 90-120 days.


    Initial call: 30 minutes


    Information exchange and preliminary offer: 2-3 weeks


    Letter of Intent: signed within 4-5 weeks of first call


    Due diligence and closing: 60-90 days from LOI


    We can move faster if you need to (some sellers want to close by year-end for tax reasons) or slower if you want time to think. Your timeline drives our timeline.


    After closing, your step-back transition can take time and we ask for your support to ensure things continue as-is. Some owners are ready to hand over the keys and head to the coast. Others want to stay involved for a while. Both work, but no matter what, a reasonable transition is a non-negotiable.
