Crandon Growth acquires and operates one U.S. company that organizes travel, lodging, and events for institutions. We're looking for an established business whose owner is ready for the next chapter.
Start a conversationSelling a business you spent decades building is a personal decision. Your clients trust you, your team depends on you, and you want to know who comes next.
Crandon Growth is a search fund: a way for one operator, backed by investors, to buy a single company and run it full time. There is no portfolio and no outside management team. The person you talk to is the person who moves to your community and takes over the day-to-day work.
The people who carry your client relationships are why the business works. We want them to stay and grow with the company.
The first months are for listening: meeting your largest clients and suppliers in person and keeping the business on its normal course.
What you built continues under an owner who understands the industry, and who shows up every day.

LinkedIn →Sports and tournament housing, event housing, and educational, faith-based, and alumni travel. Related group travel businesses are welcome too.
Privately held U.S. companies with a record of steady profits and clients who come back year after year.
Experienced people who know the clients and suppliers, and want to stay through the transition and beyond.
Our outreach centers on the East and central hubs, but a great company anywhere is worth a call. We will move to wherever it is.
It starts with a phone call about your business and what you want for it. It stays confidential and commits you to nothing.
If there's mutual interest, we look at the financials and operations together under a confidentiality agreement. If it isn't a fit, we'll tell you plainly.
We agree on a transition that works for you, so employees, clients, and suppliers see continuity from the first day.
Whether you own a business, represent one, or would simply like to learn more, we'd welcome the conversation.
