What we do
Capital, operators, and a contractor-friendly mindset.
Clearigy partners with owner-operators who have built a real business on referrals and craft. We bring the capital and the operating experience to take the next step without losing what made the business work.
1
Invest alongside you
Working capital for growth, equipment, hiring, or a transition. We invest with the owner, not around the owner.
2
Build the operating system
Pricing, cost control, hiring, dispatch, marketing, and reporting that make the business less dependent on the founder.
3
Prepare the next chapter
Scale, recapitalize, or exit with a business that can stand on its own and a number that reflects what you built.
Approach
A different model for growth.
We treat the business like it is our own, because as operators we have been in your shoes. Our partnerships are hands-on, systems-driven, and focused on results.
Invest with you
Working capital alongside advisory
Capital to accelerate growth or enable a smooth transition, while working shoulder to shoulder with the owner.
Operationally focused
Operators first
Practical improvements, not abstract recommendations. We help change the things that move margin and cash.
Long term
Human, loyal, dedicated
We partner through growth spurts and hard valleys, building trust and long-term value rather than a quick exit.
Practical mentorship
Real-world experience
Mentorship that comes from founding, scaling, and exiting real companies, not from a spreadsheet alone.
Core capabilities
The work behind the growth.
Our expertise is applied across the areas that decide whether a service business stays a job or becomes a company.
M&A strategy and market expansion
Partner channel development and playbooks to move from referral-driven to multi-crew operations.
Operational excellence
Strategic pricing, cost management, and roadmaps that improve margins and predictability.
Digital marketing and reputation
Customer acquisition playbooks, reputation management, and local digital strategy.
Finance, valuations, equity and capital
Business valuations, equity structuring, capital raising, and exit planning support.
Human capital strategy
Hiring, structure, and leadership development for scaling service teams.
Exit readiness and transitions
Practical steps and capital to prepare owners for a successful transition.
Accelerated scaling
A deliberate path from a strong local business to a larger, more valuable operating company.
