Erdem Holdings opens the door to high-quality, recession-resilient businesses through thoughtfully structured acquisitions. With operational focus and downside protection at the core, we aim to generate strong, stable returns.

Our Philosophy

We believe that great businesses are built on strong foundations: talented teams, loyal customers, and proven business models. When we acquire a company, we invest in what makes it special while providing the resources and strategic guidance needed for long-term growth.

Our goal is to create value for all stakeholders—sellers, employees, customers, and investors—through thoughtful stewardship and operational excellence. We're partnering with entrepreneurs who have built something meaningful and ensuring that legacy continues to flourish.

The service business sector stands out for its durability, recurring revenue models, and the people behind it. We are building a firm that preserves legacy, values transparency, and focuses relentlessly on execution. Our professional, serious approach ensures efficient due diligence and closing processes for all parties involved.

The Seller Experience

Selling a business is a significant decision. We understand the importance of finding the right partner who respects your legacy and the team you've built. Our process is designed to be transparent, efficient, and respectful of your time and priorities.

We work closely with sellers throughout the transaction to ensure a smooth transition. Our team is experienced in navigating complex deals while maintaining confidentiality and moving with appropriate speed. We recognize that each business owner has different goals—whether ensuring employee continuity, preserving company culture, or achieving financial security—and we tailor our approach accordingly.

We know the pride and persistence it takes to build a great company and we acquire businesses with care and respect—ensuring smooth transitions and a strong future for teams and legacies.

A Note for Investors

We focus on acquiring businesses with strong cash flow, established market positions, and opportunities for organic and inorganic growth. Our transactions are financed through a combination of institutional and private investor equity (10-25%), seller financing, and bank debt (75-90%), allowing us to tailor capital structures that best fit each opportunity.

Each acquisition receives dedicated operational and strategic support. We partner with management teams to execute growth plans while preserving the unique attributes that made each business attractive. Our long-term hold approach means no exit plans—we're focused on sustainable cash flow generation and building lasting value.

We're committed to building a portfolio of market-leading businesses that generate sustainable returns through operational improvement, strategic initiatives, and thoughtful capital allocation. Capital is raised and committed on a deal-by-deal basis upon identification of qualified businesses, with established relationships with credible investors and lenders ready to fund viable acquisitions.
