PJP Capital: Entrepreneurship Through
Acquisition or Investment.
PJP is actively seeking partnership and acquisition opportunities that align with specific investment criteria and focuses on majority acquisition of businesses. These companies are primarily in the residential or commercial services sector or adjacent businesses that align with PJP's investment criteria.
PJP Capital invests a minority stake in solid operators/businesses that are a Core Values fit. We engage companies where both parties see mutual value in the relationship. Our goal is to effectively position businesses for growth and execute on identified initiatives, often focusing on private equity transactions, strategic exits, or other partnerships.

Success Criteria
Aging or Retiring Owner Ready to Transition
The owner is at a natural exit point — motivated to sell to someone who will carry the business forward with the same care they built it with. Pat approaches every seller conversation with respect for what they have created.
Strong #2 or Management Team in Place
One to three key people who want to continue and grow the business post-transition. Pat's role is executive chairman — he will coach, mentor, and develop the team rather than replace them. The management team is an asset, not a liability.
Profitable Operations with Gaps in Sales & Marketing
Strong core operations, documented systems, and consistent margins — but limited investment in sales, marketing, or lead generation. These are gaps Pat actively intends to fill. They are not flaws; they are the growth opportunity.
Diversified Customer Base with Recurring Revenue
No single customer exceeding 20% of revenue. "Unsexy" businesses with loyal, long-tenured customers are strongly preferred over transactional or project-based revenue models.
A Great Story Worth Building On
Businesses with 40+ years of history are strongly preferred. The legacy of what the seller built matters. Pat is not looking to dismantle — he is looking to grow. A lifestyle business run conservatively is a bonus; Pat will operate with greater discipline and efficiency while preserving the culture.
Clear Growth Pathway Not Yet Pursued
Opportunity to scale through regional acquisitions, vertical integration, or a franchise/dealership model. Pat has direct experience executing all three and is prepared to apply them. This is not a first acquisition — it is a next chapter.
