About

Permanent owners. Not a fund.

Krass Companies started on Long Island in 2020 with one business and a set of terms that hasn't moved since: our own capital, no fund life, and no outside committee to answer to. When we buy a company, nobody upstream is waiting for us to sell it.

Nine companies later, the work is the same. We buy control of good local businesses from owners who care what happens next, keep the name and the people, and spend the years after close making each company steadier than we found it.

How we hold ourselves Sheet 02 of 05
01 People, product, profit In that order. Take care of the people, get the product right, and trust the profit to follow.
02 Permanent capital Ours and a small group of Long Island operating families'. Nobody is waiting on a distribution, so nobody is pushing a sale in year five.
03 The name stays Your company keeps its name, its logo, and its place in the neighborhood. We don't roll businesses into a brand nobody asked for.
04 People first, then process We meet the crew before diligence closes. We have never cut staff at close, and we don't plan to start.
05 Modest debt We borrow lightly, so a bad quarter stays a bad quarter instead of becoming a covenant breach.
06 Say the number early You'll hear our range in the first two meetings. If we can't get there, we tell you instead of grinding you down at the finish.

Deals · Operations · Finance

The people who evaluate your company run alongside it afterward. The same team takes your first call, sits through the close, and shows up at the companies every week. Nobody you meet during the deal disappears after the wire clears.
