small businesses.
Navalper partners with owners of profitable, well-run companies to provide a thoughtful succession — preserving what works, investing in employees, and building for the next generation.
01
Philosophy
We offer small business owners a thoughtful succession: a fair valuation, an efficient close, and a careful transition to new ownership. Our goal is to own, operate, and grow companies with a track record of strong profitability and meaningful potential ahead — not to engineer a quick turnaround.
-
i.
Sustaining your legacy
The culture and reputation an owner spent decades building is the business's most valuable asset. We protect it.
-
ii.
Investing in employees
Long-tenured teams know the business better than any new owner. We help them reach their full potential.
-
iii.
Operational improvement
Thoughtful innovation in systems, technology, and process — not disruption for its own sake.
-
iv.
Sustainable, long-term growth
We hold for the long term and reinvest in the business, its people, and its customers.
02
What we look for
We focus on a narrow set of characteristics that, in our experience, define a business worth holding for decades.
Stable revenues
Annual revenue between $4M and $40M, with at least three consecutive years of profitability.
Solid track record
Recurring customers, durable fundamentals, and minimal cyclicality — businesses that have weathered more than one cycle.
Committed owners
Sellers who care about the long-term success of the company, its employees, and the legacy they've built.
Decade of operating history
Established companies — typically more than ten years in business — with a clear story of how they got here.
Smooth transition
An owner who wants to hand the business to a single, committed operator — not to a fund flipping it in five years.

Founder
Julio Jiménez
Founder & Managing Partner
Navalper was founded on a simple belief: that thoughtful, long-term ownership is the right home for great American small businesses.
The companies we seek typically generate $4–40 million in annual revenue, have been in business for more than a decade, and have been profitable for at least the last three years. Their owners care deeply about the company's culture, values, and legacy — and they want to see the business continue to thrive long after they've stepped away.
If that sounds like the business you've built, I'd welcome a conversation.
