Sabbath Legacy is a holding company, formed to acquire and invest in aligned acquisition entrepreneurs.
In Genesis, the Hebrew word shabat represents God’s rest following the work of creation.
Sabbath means “to stop” or “cease” or “be complete” — and also “to celebrate.”
We seek faith-driven leaders for both our operating and investing activities.
Together, we can build upon a pattern of hard work rooted in higher purpose.
Investment Criteria
Loyal Employees and Great Culture
The future of the business depends on retaining and investing in key employees post-acquisition, and building a team culture rooted in dignity, accountability, and excellence.
$1M - $2M+ in Cash Flow
Businesses of this size are more resilient and sustainable than smaller businesses, without the layers of bureaucracy of larger firms.
Owner-Operator Who Needs to Retire
Owners of great businesses usually don’t want to retire, but when they need to transition, nothing is more important than finding the right person to run their business for the long term.
15+ Years in Business
Enduringly profitable businesses have been successful through many business cycles, often for generations, with loyal customers and stellar reputations in their local market.
Defensible Market-Leading Position
Businesses with a track record of exceptional quality and customer service don’t compete on price. Consistent revenue and margins with recurring and repeat customers indicate strength.
