I want to buy a great Treasure Valley business, and keep it great.
I'm Cameron Clark. I grew up in Nampa. I'm looking to buy a local business, keep the team and the name, and run it myself.
A note to owners
I spend my days helping owners plan their exit. Now I'm looking to buy one business for myself.
Thanks for taking a look. If I reached out to you, it's because your business is the kind I'd be proud to own.
I'm not a big fund. I'm one person looking for one business with a good team, good systems, and a good culture. I'm buying to run it and grow it, and I'll be there every day.
Three ways this can work
Sell and step away.
You're ready to be done. We work out a clean sale and a smooth handoff on your timeline.
Sell and stay on for a while.
You're ready to sell, but you don't want to walk out the door 60 days after closing. Most sales come with a short handoff, then you're gone. With me, you can stay on longer and help the business keep moving, for as long as it makes sense for both of us.
Bring me in first.
You're not ready to sell, but you want to step back. I come in and run the day to day so you can take time back. We agree on a plan up front for me to buy you out bit by bit over a set period of time.
Not sure which fits? That's normal. Let's talk it through.
What stays the same
Your people.
They're why your business works. I plan to keep them.
Your name.
You built it. It stays.
Your customers.
They keep getting the service they count on.
My story
I was born and raised in Nampa, Idaho. I earned a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Idaho. I'm the kind of person who gets things done. When I commit to something, I will run through walls to make it happen.
I was the first person in my family to finish high school, go to college, and earn an engineering degree. That didn't come from being the smartest person in the room. It came from outworking everyone in it and showing up every day.
I started my career as an engineer at Micron and another tech company. From there I moved into commercial real estate. I helped local developers and private equity groups run the numbers on deals so they could raise money and get their projects built.
Today I work as a business advisor. My job is helping local owners plan their exit and get ready to sell. I've valued dozens of businesses, from $200,000 to $10 million in size. I've helped owners clean up messy books so buyers could trust the numbers. I helped one owner find about $800,000 in added value just by changing how they priced their work.
Now I want to be on the other side of the table. I took this job to learn from owners across many industries and hear how they built their companies into what they are today. Just as important, it gave me the confidence to run the process, structure a fair deal, and see it through to the finish. Now I'm looking for one business to buy and run myself.
Why now
I've been an entrepreneur at heart for years. Now I'm ready to own. I want to build a better future for my family and for the people who work in the business.
How I'd pay for it
I'm putting in my own money. If a deal needs more, I bring in a group of investors. Either way, I'm the one running the business.
