Acquisitions
Entrepreneurship Through Acquisitions (ETA) – Empowering Transitions. Preserving Legacies.
Overview
Why We Acquire
At Insula Capital, we specialize in Entrepreneurship Through Acquisitions (ETA) — a model that allows us to take the reins of established, cash-flowing businesses and lead them into their next chapter of growth.
Unlike starting from scratch, acquiring a business provides a solid foundation: established revenue, loyal customers, operational infrastructure, experienced teams, and brand equity. These assets significantly reduce the risks associated with traditional entrepreneurship — enabling us to focus on what matters most: growth, innovation, and long-term value creation.
Our Approach to Acquisitions
Streamlined Ownership Transfers
We take pride in making the transition process smooth. We are well-connected with buy-side and sell-side brokers, as well as experienced professionals who support due diligence — from lawyers to accountants and financial advisors.
Capital-Backed & Deal-Ready
We deploy our own capital as equity and collaborate with a trusted network of financial institutions, private lenders, and accredited investors to finance acquisitions.
Flexible Roles: Operators or Advisors
Every business is unique — and so is every seller. We can step in as full-time operators or remain as strategic advisors. We also offer partnership models, where we acquire controlling stakes and allow owners to stay involved in a reduced or mentoring capacity — benefiting from shared upside and mitigated risks.
What We’re Looking For
Our Acquisition Criteria: What Makes an Ideal Fit? Here’s what we prioritize:
- Solid reputation in the industry
- Growth potential and scalability
- Existing customer contracts or repeat clientele
- Preference for B2B (Business-to-Business), and B2C (Business-to-Consumer) on a case-by-case basis
- Recurring or predictable revenue streams
- Sound financials and clear book-keeping
- Diversified customer base (no over-reliance on very few clients)
- EBITDA between $500,000 and $2 million
Acquiring with Care. Growing with Intent.

Real Business Owners. Real Transitions. Real Outcomes.
Who We Help
We work with a range of owners who are thinking about the future of their businesses. Does this sound like you or someone you know?
but you care deeply about the people behind your business — your employees, your customers, your vendors. You want to ensure the company not only survives but thrives in the hands of the next steward
but now it’s time to realize the financial reward for your years of hard work. You’re seeking a buyer who sees your legacy, not just the balance sheet
for family, for travel, for health, or simply for rest. But stepping away doesn’t mean letting go irresponsibly. You want a partner who can carry the baton with care
but you know you need strategic support, capital injection, or a strong operator to help you scale. You don’t want to exit entirely — you want a trusted partner to grow with, someone who respects your vision while adding new capabilities
whether due to succession planning, changes in family dynamics, or a shift in personal goals. You need a team that can navigate complexity with empathy and discretion
