McLain Leadership partners with founders and owners who are thinking about what’s next for their business. We acquire and step into leadership of established companies where continuity, care, and long-term success matter as much as the transaction itself.

Our focus is simple: honor what’s been built, protect the people and culture that made it work, and thoughtfully guide the business into its next chapter.

Our Approach

We believe great businesses are more than numbers on a spreadsheet. They’re the result of years—often decades—of hard work, relationships, and values.

When we acquire a business, we take a hands-on, operator-first approach. That means working closely with existing teams, strengthening systems and leadership, and making practical improvements that support sustainable growth. We are not financial engineers or short-term flippers. We’re builders and stewards.

Our goal is alignment—making sure the transition works for the seller, the employees, and the future of the company. McLain Leadership is built on long-term ownership and partnership. We care deeply about preserving the integrity, culture, and reputation of the businesses we acquire.

We don’t believe in stripping companies down or forcing growth at the expense of people. We believe in thoughtful leadership, clear governance, and creating environments where businesses—and the people inside them—can thrive.
