We're not a typical private equity firm that buys your company, loads it with debt, and sells it within 3–5 years. As a holding company, we buy to own permanently—which means we actually care about honoring your reputation, serving your customers, and taking care of your team. Your business deserves owners who plan to stay.
At Qibla Capital, we structure deals without interest and offer fair valuations based on real business value. The transition is built around your goals—exit completely, stay involved in operations, or take an advisory role. What happens after the sale is your decision.
What We're Looking For
We acquire two types of businesses: ones that are already working well, and ones that need help getting back on track.
HEALTHY BUSINESSES
These are stable, proven, and positioned to generate long-term value.
- EBITDA: $500K - $5M
- Trusted name with a solid track record
- Recession-resistant models with recurring revenue and low customer concentration
- Most industries, anywhere in the United States
You might be a fit if:
Your business is performing well, but you don't want to run it forever. You may be thinking about retirement, taking some chips off the table, and working with a long-term partner who values continuity, not a quick flip.
Transitional Businesses
These have the right foundations but are going through a difficult period.
- Negative EBITDA; revenues of $5M-$75M
- Established legacy with untapped potential
- Cashflow, expense, or management issues that are fixable
- Clear path to profitability within 6-12 months
You might be a fit if:
Things didn't go as planned, and you need support. You're looking for a steady path forward that stabilizes the business and allows it to recover. The priority is protecting what remains, not forcing a transaction.

Clarifications & Answers
From our first conversation to closing, the process typically takes 30-90 days. This timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your business and how quickly we can complete due diligence.
Absolutely. We sign NDAs at the outset and maintain strict confidentiality throughout the entire process. Your business information is never shared without your explicit permission.
Yes. The transition is built around your goals—you can exit completely, stay involved in operations, or take an advisory role. What happens after the sale is your decision.
At Qibla Capital, we structure deals without interest, using equity-based acquisitions and profit-sharing arrangements that align with our principles while ensuring fair valuations based on real business value.
We consider both profitable and non-profitable businesses. For our Non-Core Holdings, we look at businesses with negative EBITDA but clear paths to profitability within 6-12 months. The fundamentals and potential matter more than current profitability.
We consider most industries anywhere in the United States. However, we do have certain deal breakers, including unethical business practices.
We typically acquire 100% ownership so we can take full responsibility for operations and long-term stewardship. However, we’re flexible and willing to explore structures that create the right outcome for everyone involved.
We primarily invest in profitable, operating businesses with consistent cash flow. Early-stage startups typically fall outside our mandate because they carry a higher risk profile. Our model is intentionally built around lower-risk acquisitions where value is grounded in existing earnings rather than projections.
