About Karl Umland

We are authentically excited to buy your business.My name is Karl Umland and I along with my team are looking to acquire an enduringly profitable, lower middle market, mature and stable business. I\'m a Colorado native and I currently live in Denver, but have also lived in Wyoming and Texas. I got my Bachelor of Science from the Colorado School of Mines and worked for corporate, private equity and finally high net worth individuals (Koch Brothers). In parallel to this I\'ve been able to start and buy a number of business since 2008. I\'m a passionate and analytical person who is driven by data. Our core values of integrity and respect put us in a strong position to be fair and honest. We work for win-win transactions with owners. We are able to bring value to your business by bringing a fair price, transparency, energy and a quick close. We are not looking to get a discount on your company, We want to buy a great business at a fair price. We believe in a person\'s word being the single most important thing they have and in that; We give our word that We are well qualified to acquire and run a mid-sized company, We will execute the transaction in a fair and transparent manner and We will steward your business for future generations.We are passionate about all things business related and most of us have been since We were kids. We have successfully (and some unsuccessfully) started and sold a BBQ company, vending machine company, car dealership and real estate company over the last 7 years and are pumped to continue this journey with the acquisition of your business. Our collective experience has taught us that people are the single most important thing in a company, with out them you have essentially nothing and as such you need to put them as the top priority.We are going to acquire/partner in a enduringly profitable business with to in annual profit in 2021. If you are open to a partnership or sale of your business, We would love to have a confidential introduction to explore synergies. Excited to chat further, so please feel free to reach out.
