Questions owners and advisors ask us

No. LUX Capital is a private investment firm that acquires and holds businesses directly for the long term. We are not a short-hold financial buyer raising a fund to flip companies — we aim to own and improve the businesses we acquire for years to come.

We are based in Minnesota and acquire established service businesses anywhere in the United States.

You will deal directly with founder Brad Wochnick and the LUX Capital team — not an investment committee or a rotating cast of analysts.

We typically partner with established service businesses generating roughly $1 million to $3 million in EBITDA and $1 million to $25 million in annual revenue, with consistent cash flow and loyal customers.

Building services (HVAC, commercial painting, flooring, janitorial), specialty construction, facilities management and maintenance, landscaping and outdoor services, industrial services, and niche professional services.

Founder or family ownership, consistent cash flow, strong customer retention, minimal customer concentration, and a management team willing to stay on or transition smoothly. The full profile is on our investment criteria page.

Not necessarily. We offer full or partial exits and can structure a deal around your goals — whether you want to step away entirely, transition gradually, or stay involved in a business you still care about.

It depends on your goals and timeline. Some owners want to move quickly; others plan years ahead. We move at a pace that respects your team and avoids disruption to day-to-day business. See the four phases on Our Process.

Yes. We regularly speak with advisors representing owners and welcome introductions from brokers, attorneys, accountants, and wealth managers.

We preserve company culture and customer relationships. Our approach protects the people and the values that built the business, while bringing disciplined financial planning and support for growth.

The leadership team that made the business successful. We look for management teams willing to stay on, and we support them with capital, structure, and strategic perspective rather than replacing them.

Always. Every conversation is confidential and without obligation, whether you are ready to move now or simply planning ahead for the future.
