Mashhadi Capital

Owners build. We continue.We are a family holding company acquiring and operating durable American businesses for the long term.

Our Approach

We acquire established American businesses to own and operate. Our holding period is measured in decades, not years.

We are not a private equity firm. We do not pursue financial engineering, aggressive debt loading, or strip-and-flip strategies. We buy businesses we believe in, alongside teams we respect, and we grow them carefully.

We come to this work as operators. We have managed P&Ls, led teams, and stewarded businesses and real estate for years. We understand that selling a business is more than a transaction. It is the transfer of something an owner spent a lifetime building, and we approach every conversation with that respect.

What We Look For

The businesses we seek to acquire share a common character.

Industry

In the Pacific Northwest — businesses we can be at in person:

  • Specialty service businesses and skilled trades: fire and life safety, HVAC, plumbing, electrical
  • Property and facilities management
  • Home and residential services with recurring or contract-based revenue (such as pest control, security monitoring, water treatment, or maintenance plans)
  • Commercial maintenance with recurring or contract-based revenue
  • Specialty manufacturing with a recurring service component (such as installation, inspection, maintenance, or repair contracts) serving commercial, institutional, or government clients

Anywhere in the U.S. — established remote businesses:

  • Professional services, consulting, or training firms with recurring client relationships or contract-based revenue
  • Digitally delivered B2B services, including businesses with a software or licensing component
  • Health and wellness businesses serving employers, institutions, or healthcare organizations

Revenue Model

  • Recurring contracts, subscriptions, service agreements, or non-discretionary demand — whether the customer is a business, institution, government, or household
  • Installed customer bases, multi-year agreements, or regulated maintenance requirements

Financial Criteria

  • Revenue: $2M–$5M
  • Cash Flow (SDE): $500K–$1M
  • We will consider opportunities outside this range when fundamentals are compelling — including motivated seller, enduring competitive moat, strong management in place, or attractive deal structure

Business Profile

  • Established for at least ten years
  • Recognized market position, brand, and reputation for quality
  • Strong customer relationships and repeat business

Operations

We acquire businesses where one of the following is true:

An experienced operational manager is already in place

— or —

An owner is willing to support an extended transition and maintain meaningful skin in the game post-close

We are comfortable acquiring businesses where systems and processes need to be modernized — that is part of the value we bring.

Geography

  • Remote and location-independent businesses: anywhere in the United States

Ownership Situation

  • Retiring or transitioning owners seeking a careful, long-term home for their business and team

We Do Not Pursue
