Fenmora Group acquires vital, owner-run service businesses — across trades, routes, and specialty services — and supports their long-term success, not the next flip.
We look beyond any single industry — every business we consider shares the same underlying traits, across a broad range of essential, everyday services.
Repeat customers or contract-based demand, not one-off jobs.
Something the community needs regardless of the economic cycle.
An owner-operator prepared to transition, with a capable team in place.
A local market that isn't already dominated by a big national chain.
Electrical, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, carpet cleaning, tiling & grouting
Laundromats, vending machines, porta-potty rentals, waste management
Car washes, storage facilities, repair shops, pack-and-ship centers, pet grooming, bookkeeping
Don't see your industry listed? If it fits the profile above, we want to hear from you.
Fenmora Group is built to hold, not flip. We keep crews and customer relationships intact, and we offer administrative support — bookkeeping, reporting, compliance — that helps a business keep serving its customers after the owner steps away.
Fenmora Group is a privately held company that acquires and supports these businesses for the long term — not a fund looking to resell your business in a few years. Acquisitions are privately funded, supported by a dedicated team, and held to the same standards every time.
We fund and close on the timeline we promise you — no last-minute financing surprises partway through the deal.
Access to shared bookkeeping, compliance, and administrative support — without changing how each business runs day to day.
No layoffs at close. Technicians and staff stay on through the transition, and the reputation you built continues under the same crew.
Our Philosophy: Small businesses don't need corporate restructuring; they need steady support and commitment.
Mr. Gatlin started Fenmora Group on that simple premise. Drawing on years in process development, he brings experienced, hands-on support without the corporate red tape. While a bachelor's degree in business administration and several business operations certifications gave him the framework, years of real-world work taught him what actually holds up.
Outside of acquisitions and system optimization, Mr. Gatlin is usually spending quality time with family, traveling, playing pickup basketball games, or wondering why golf looks so much easier on TV than it feels on the driving range.
Most owners hesitate before ever talking to a buyer, usually for reasons that don't hold up once you look closer.
"My business is too small to interest a buyer."
Owner-operated businesses your size are exactly what we look for — they're our focus, not an afterthought.
"I need everything documented before I can sell."
You don't need clean systems or formal reporting already in place. We bring that structure with us after the deal, not before it.
"My team isn't ready to run without me."
A crew that already knows the business is valuable to us as-is — we don't require a management layer you haven't built yet.
"There's never a good time to start the conversation."
You don't need to wait for the "right" moment. We move at whatever pace works for you, not the other way around.
Being ready to sell isn't about having everything figured out — it's about finding a buyer who already does.
