Step Into Business Ownership.

Partner with experienced operators to acquire and run a great business for the long term.

Become an owner-operator, not just a buyer

Trivium Partners works with aspiring owner-operators who want to acquire and run a great business for the long term.

We partner with first-time searchers who are serious about ownership, leadership, and responsibility. Our role is to support you through the acquisition process and into long-term operation, so you can step into ownership with confidence rather than going it alone.

Capital

We provide the financial strength to make meaningful acquisitions possible. Our investors understand long-term ownership — giving operating partners the confidence to focus on growth, not fundraising.

Insight

We bring deep analytical and operational expertise to every opportunity — helping you identify the right businesses, uncover hidden potential, and make informed decisions with confidence.

Why partner with us

Partnership

You won’t be doing this alone. We’re hands-on partners who step into the business with you, offering guidance, resources, and the benefit of experience running successful companies.

Community

Join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who share your drive and principles. Together, we support each other’s successes and navigate challenges with a shared sense of purpose.

Network

Gain access to a trusted ecosystem of investors, advisors, and industry leaders who share our belief in sustainable growth and operational excellence.

Stability

With patient capital and a long-term outlook, you’ll have the time and support to build something lasting — without the pressure of quick exits or short-term targets.

The steps

  • It begins with alignment. We partner with driven, capable individuals who have the leadership qualities and ambition to own and run a business. Together, we discuss your goals, strengths, and preferred industries, shaping a partnership built on trust and shared vision.

  • You don’t need to bring capital to the table — we fund your search. We provide search capital to cover your expenses and a modest salary for up to two years while you focus on finding the ideal business to acquire. This means you can search full-time, with financial stability and our ongoing support.

  • Together, we define what a “great business” looks like — by industry, size, potential, and alignment with your skills. We leverage our network, data, and investor base to identify strong acquisition targets. You’ll evaluate and lead the discussions with sellers, while we support you with structure, analysis, and introductions to ensure every opportunity is worth your time.

  • Once you’ve chosen your business, we move decisively. We guide you through due diligence, valuation, and negotiations, ensuring the acquisition is financially and operationally sound. Our investor network provides the funding needed to complete the purchase — no personal capital required.

  • After the acquisition, you step in as CEO and part-owner.
    You’ll run the business day to day, with ongoing backing from us and our investors. We take an active role on the board, offering strategic input, mentorship, and a steady foundation as you grow the company over the next 5–10 years.

    This is your opportunity to own a business with strength — combining your leadership with our resources to build something lasting and exceptional.
