Bryan Houck, a buy-side client of Calder Capital, was recently featured on Acquiring Minds, a podcast for entrepreneurs who buy businesses. Bryan’s journey through the acquisition process of Extra Credit Projects offers valuable insights, and we’re honored to have worked with him. Tune in to hear his story and learn more about the strategies that led to a successful business acquisition.
About Bryan’s Acquisition of Extra Credit Projects:
Bryan Houck, an experienced entrepreneur, engaged Calder’s Buy-Side Team to help find his ideal acquisition opportunity in the business-to-business service space. His background in business startups, sales and marketing campaigns, business turnarounds, and creative problem-solving made Extra Credit Projects a perfect fit for his vision and expertise. The search process involved extensive outreach and vetting a plethora of quality introductions, with Calder’s team generating 40 acquisition targets, and Bryan evaluating and pursuing 23 of the potential leads before securing this off-market deal.
“I hired Calder Capital to assist me on the Buy-Side, and now that I’m through the process, I couldn’t be happier!” added Bryan Houck. “Sam and his team were diligent, professional, and had a refreshing sense of urgency. While the process took a bit longer than I expected, the team never wavered and frankly helped me through a few periods of ‘buyer fatigue.’ Sam’s professionalism and attention to detail enabled the closing process to go smoothly and successfully. For anyone considering a business purchase, I would strongly encourage them to consider Calder as opposed to ‘doing it yourself.’ I’m now benefiting from the results of finding the perfect business, and I know I wouldn’t have gotten here without their help.”
