Who We Are
Berm Ventures: Committed to Local Business Growth
Berm Ventures is a small business acquisition firm focused on acquiring a Puget Sound business to operate over the long-term. We’re not one of these faceless private equity funds looking to buy and flip a business for quick profit. Our approach focuses on buying a business where we can commit to supporting the existing team, customers, and community. We want to grow and add value, but in a way that respects what already works and in partnership with the people who know the business best.
Mission
Vision
To build, operate and grow a strong local business, recognized for our commitment to legacy, relationships, and our impact on the community
Values
We believe in integrity, people, and financial stewardship, ensuring decisions enrich the lives of customers and employees
Why Work with Us?
We’re here to create lasting value, not chase fast profits.
Respect for What You've Built
Your business has been successful for a reason and we're here to honor that with a smooth transition to build on top of what you've done so well.
People First
At the end of the day, business is about people. From building trust with a seller early on to ensuring your people are well taken care of after the sale, we know success comes from relationships.
Operational Know How
We're seeking to buy to operate and bring years of operational experience to strengthen the business - working with the experts already in place to learn and grow the business.
Long-term Growth
Buying a business is not about quick exits for a profit, it's about respecting legacy and serving the community for the long-term through sustainable growth.
