Gilliard Holdings buys cash-flowing, owner-operated internet businesses from founders who are ready to move on. You hand over the keys, you get paid, and you get your time back.
Criteria →Playbook
If your business clears under $1M a year, you’re in a frustrating blind spot. You're too small for private equity, and too expensive for the average buyer. This means you're stuck running a business you've outgrown, waiting for a buyer who actually has the cash to close. We are that buyer.
We aren't flippers or brokers. If we buy your business, the default plan is that we still own it in ten years. We respect what you’ve built, and we have the operating infrastructure to keep it running quietly and profitably long after you step away.
When you sell to us, you are actually selling. We don't want you tied up in a multi-year earn-out or stuck answering support tickets six months after close. We do a documented handover, transition the assets, and let you move on to your next project.

Operating model
Send us your business and trailing 12 months of numbers. Most of what we buy comes directly from founders or through quiet broker introductions.
If it fits our criteria, we move fast. We verify your revenue, traffic, and bank statements directly. Standard due diligence.
We structure straightforward asset purchases designed around what you actually need to comfortably exit.
Once the cash clears, we take the wheel. We handle the transition so you can disconnect entirely.
Contact
Sellers and brokers: Send a link to the business, your trailing 12 months (TTM) revenue and profit, a deck if you have one, and why you are selling. We reply within 48 hours and will tell you immediately if it’s a pass so we don't waste your time.
Everyone else: Owners, operators, partners, or anyone with a lead on a business we should buy, email us.
