A STURDY APPROACH
BUY
Acquire a great business at a fair price
Exiting a business is deeply personal. You've built something impressive, and a sale should reflect that. Let's find an outcome that everyone feels good about.
NURTURE
Get to know what you've built and elevate it
Half of new businesses don't make it beyond five years, and fewer than 5% ever make it to $1M in revenue. Yours has. The first step is to understand and preserve the culture, people, and processes that have enabled this success.
GROW
Invest for sustainable growth
Sustainable growth doesn't happen by accident. Define the vision, chart the path, get the buy-in, and invest the time, attention, and capital to make it happen.

WHY STURDY HOLDINGS
EXPERIENCE
I have over a decade of hands-on experience coaching organizations to make real improvements that stick, primarily in blue-collar industries. From both conference rooms and the shop floor, I've helped companies think through change, grow, increase profitability, and improve operational performance using both traditional and digital tools.
HANDS-ON APPROACH
This is not a passive investment. I’m eager to learn quickly, engage directly with the team, and understand operations firsthand. I bring energy, passion, and a genuine enthusiasm for working collaboratively to drive results.
RESPECT
For you:
I respect your time and your confidence. I'm here to work with you, not against you, for the best outcome for everyone.For your team:
Your team deserves care, transparency, support, and opportunity during a transition and beyond.For your customers:
Customers are the lifeblood of any business. They have histories, expectations, and ways of working that will need to be understood and honored.For the community:
Your business serves, and is a part of, the local community. It, like your business, is worth investing in.
HUMILITY
You and your team know your business best, and often, the best answers come from within. I'm comfortable admitting what I don't know, but equally comfortable learning quickly by investing time with your team and getting first-hand experience.
LONG-TERM COMMITMENT
I'm focused on long-term growth and appreciation, not short-sighted decisions for a quick flip. Doing right by your employees and your legacy is non-negotiable.
FLEXIBILITY
My independence allows flexibility with deal structure, timelines, and terms. Your objectives matter - let's talk about what works for you.

ISAAC FREEMAN
FOUNDER
Before founding Sturdy Holdings, I spent a decade working with everyone from heavy equipment operators to top executives on strategic and operational challenges, most recently as an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company. While my work included growth strategy, market due-diligence, and pricing optimization, I spent the majority of my time helping organizations in ‘hard-hat’ industries work more efficiently and get more done: improving operational performance and increasing profitability. Through this work, I developed deep expertise in productivity optimization, frontline enablement/capability building, Lean manufacturing, digital tool development/deployment, and cost optimization. I’ve spent countless hours in control rooms, on shop floors, and out in the field, and in doing so, have developed an enormous respect for these essential businesses and the people who make them run.While I have loved advising, I’m ready to transition from advisor to owner. I’m passionate about operating something of my own and creating a legacy for my family. I’m committed to finding the right business where I can build on a strong existing foundation and take it to the next level – not through financial engineering or by gutting it for short-term gains and a quick sale, but by investing for the long haul to create something meaningful and lasting. And I’m committed to doing this with the business’s employees and customers, not to them.I live in Denver with my wife and daughter, and two dogs. When I’m not working, I’m spending time with my family, hiking up the mountains, dirt-biking on old mining roads, or tinkering in the garage. I hold an MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and a BS in Quantitative Economics from Tufts University.If you’re thinking about retirement, exit planning, selling your business, or just want to hear more, let’s chat. I’d love to meet you and learn your story.
HOW THIS WORKS
Selling your business can seem daunting, but it doesn't need to.
Get to know each other
We’ll start with a phone call or coffee. You’ll learn more about me and I'll learn about you, your business, your plans for the future, and what matters most to you. No commitment, no pressure.
Go Deeper
We sign a mutual NDA so we can speak freely, share financials, and have honest conversations about the business.
Make an offer
I make an initial non-binding offer, including price, structure, and timeline for your review.
Get to know each other
We kick off confirmatory diligence. Experts on both sides review the details to make sure there are no surprises, and we work towards a final purchase agreement.
Make It Official
We complete the transaction. After a transition period to ensure a smooth handoff, you move on to whatever's next, knowing your business is in good hands.
