We buy one good business and run it for the long term.
Hyde Park Holdings is a privately held company formed to acquire and operate a single established small business valued between $1 million and $5 million. We are not a fund with a clock on it. We are an owner-operator looking for a company to grow for the next decade.
A straightforward buyer for a business you built.
Most owners sell once. We aim to make that one transaction clear, fair, and respectful of what you built.
One buyer, one decision-maker
You deal directly with the person who will run the company. No investment committee, no changing faces between the first call and closing.
A fair, financeable offer
We value businesses on real earnings and structure deals that lenders will fund, so an accepted offer is an offer that closes.
Your people and your name stay
We buy companies for their teams, their customers, and their reputation. Our plan is to keep all three, then build on them.

Kevin Elliott
Hyde Park Holdings is led by Kevin Elliott, who spent twelve years in healthcare distribution and B2B sales, most recently as an Executive Account Director at Medline Industries responsible for a $200M+ book of hospital-system business and a team of roughly thirty sales and support staff.
His background is in the unglamorous parts of running a business well: pricing, inventory, contracts, data, and keeping large customers happy year after year. That is what he intends to bring to the company he buys.
If you know a business that might fit, we'd like to hear about it.
We respond to every inquiry, sign NDAs promptly, and give a clear yes or no quickly so nobody's time is wasted.
