Business for Good Starts Here.

Ownership transition with your Legacy in mind

 

Business owners are welcome to work and consult after the acquisition on a flexible schedule, providing more time for other things.

 

A portion of each of our portfolio businesses are employee owned. This leads to higher retention and higher margins.

 

We professionalize and scale businesses to improve the bottom line and increase productivity.

 

The problem we solve

  • The largest small business glut in history is happening now.
    4.5 million businesses representing $10 trillion in value will transition over the next 10 years, and between 20% and 30% will be sold

  • Not enough businesses are being purchased, and private equity capital continues to seek low to mid-market roll-up opportunities

  • People in long-term Recovery need compelling career opportunities

Your legacy saves lives

  • People in Recovery are marginalized and struggle with reintegrating into mainstream society

  • Those in Recovery are stigmatized and often struggle with basic life needs and adapting to modern office culture and etiquette

  • OPARASA operates a 21-month apprenticeship program, and people in long-term Recovery fill positions within our portfolio companies.

Acquisition Criteria

Businesses that require some technological aptitude, but low barriers to entry.

Low capital expenses.

“OPA gave me a sense of purpose and a new direction in life when that’s what I was searching for. I received the gift of understanding, new purpose and meaning in my life. OPA helped prepare me for my new profession. I wouldn’t have gotten the job I did, nor would I have been successful, without the help of OPA.”

We begin by sourcing candidates between the ages of 22-29. Workers begin with a 60-day probationary period, then become paid apprentices.

During this time, we gradually increase their responsibilities and work with nationally-certified aftercare providers to ensure all workers are meeting their Recovery goals during their participation in our program.

Employees own part of the business leading to higher retention and higher margins for the business as well as better Recovery outcomes.

Our goal is to leverage capitalism to help people build worth in their Recovery.
