Benjamin Ervin, seeks to acquire one mature,
established business generating at least +$2M EBITDA.
I aim to acquire and personally lead a private business, preserving the legacy built by its owner while preparing for a bright future. With thoughtful leadership and a long-term vision, I am dedicated to honoring what has been built while positioning the business for continued success in an evolving market. If you are interested in working together, I would be honored to connect and explore how we can work together.
My career has been shaped by a strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous learning. When I was a child, my grandmother asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told her I wanted to be a Renaissance man—dynamic and knowledgeable in a wide range of fields. Business has always fascinated me for its unique ability to bring together diverse disciplines—strategy, relationship-building, problem-solving—while providing opportunities for growth and impact. This multidisciplinary mindset has been the cornerstone of my career and has driven my success across industries.
I hold an MBA from Michigan State University and a BA in Political Science from the University of Kentucky. My professional experience spans B2B and B2C sectors with roles spanning product management, sales/ sales management, marketing, and co-founder. I bring strategic vision and hands-on leadership to every endeavor, with a proven track record in developing and executing strategies, driving revenue growth, and building high-performing teams.
From start-ups to large corporations, I have consistently delivered results while fostering collaboration and innovation. Now, I am ready to honor and build upon an existing business, working with its people and customers, to ensure its success for years to come.
