Madore & Co., the independent sponsor practice of Joshua Aceves

Independent Sponsor

Madore & Co. is the independent sponsor practice of Joshua Aceves, a solo business buyer acquiring enduring small businesses in Southern California.

01 / Approach

One company.
One transaction
at a time.

Madore & Co. is an independent sponsor. That means one person, founder Joshua Aceves, sources the opportunity first and then assembles the right capital for that specific transaction. There is no committed fund, no pooled investor capital, and no outside investors until a specific acquisition is under contract.

We source the opportunity first, then assemble the right capital for that specific transaction. This deal-by-deal model keeps the mandate focused and the structure aligned with the business at hand.

01

Source selectively

We look for durable businesses where patient ownership and focused execution can make a meaningful difference.

02

Underwrite directly

Each opportunity is evaluated on its own fundamentals, cash-flow quality, and fit with our acquisition criteria.

03

Build the transaction

Capital is raised for the specific acquisition, with the structure shaped around the company rather than a preset fund mandate.

02 / Investment Criteria

What we
look for.

A focused mandate for established businesses with understandable operations and durable cash flow.

Enterprise value ~$1M Target transaction size, considered on a deal-by-deal basis.
Business profile B2B services Commercial services and similar businesses with steady, defensible cash-flow characteristics. Current focus: commercial cleaning and facility services.
Geography Southern California Established operating businesses based in Southern California.
Transaction Majority acquisitions Control-oriented investments with a clear path to long-term value creation.

03 / Leadership
