Operational Resources
From back office financials to marketing and lead generation, meet our operational partners helping take your business to the next level.
Meet Your Partners
We’re operators, investors, and problem-solvers.
Our team has built companies, closed deals,
and fixed operations in the trenches.
Where We Invest
We invest across industries, but we’ve built deep expertise in three areas where we can add the most value.
We partner with family and founder-owned businesses in the lower middle market—the kind of companies that have been built with blood, sweat, and years of hard work.
Your business is more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s your legacy. Whether you’re looking to scale, bring in a partner for the next chapter, or set up an exit on your terms, we’re here to make it happen in a way that honors what you’ve built.
Whatever your vision looks like, we’re flexible enough to structure something that works for you, your team, and your business.
We typically work with businesses doing $3M-$20M in revenue and $1M-$6M in EBITDA across the continental U.S. Most of our deals are control transactions, but we’re open to minority investments and growth capital too—whatever makes sense for where you’re headed.
“We are very excited to partner with the Full Guard team and to enhance the growth of 3C. We are confident that the market offers substantial growth potential, and we are eager to capitalize on opportunities to further expand the business. In order to seize upon our vision, we sought strategic and executive support. Full Guard’s experience driving growth within municipal services related companies and their overall business philosophy aligns perfectly with our goals.”
