Mettle Acquisitions
We Just Don’t Acquire Businesses. We Build Legacies.
for founders who built something strong
Acquisition is more than a business model — it’s my life’s work.
At Mettle Acquisitions, the acquisitions division of Rockfish Management, we approach every deal with one goal: to create value that lasts beyond the transaction.
We help owners exit with dignity and purpose, while giving businesses new life through operational strength, strategic growth, and leadership that honors their legacy.
Every founder has a story…Ours begins where theirs leaves off.
“Mettle means honoring the hands that built it and those strong enough to carry it forward.”
Mission – first
Why We Exist
Business acquisitions aren’t just transactions – they’re transformations.
At Rockfish, we believe in preserving the soul of great companies while unlocking new growth for the next generation. We partner with legacy-driven business owners, purposeful investors, and proven operators to create value far beyond the balance sheet.
Because businesses don’t just die – they deserve to evolve.
For Founders Ready To Exit Right
Strategic Alignment
You’ve built something great. Now it’s time to make sure it outlives you.
We help legacy-driven founders exit on their own terms — with dignity, clarity, and respect for everything you’ve built. Whether you’re ready to walk away, stay involved, or consult through the transition, we’ll ensure your people, reputation, and values are protected.
You’re not chasing hype — you’re seeking real returns from real businesses.
We structure acquisitions with operational depth, conservative risk, and full transparency. Our team leads with experience and discipline, making your capital a lever for sustainable, cash-flowing growth — not startup roulette.
Disciplined Deal Making
“Disciplined targeting. We know what we want — and we move with purpose.”
What We Look For
We’re not chasing hype — we’re acquiring companies that cash flow, scale smart, and stand the test of time.
Considered Targets:
- Generating $240K–$300K+ in annual net cash flow (post-debt service)
- Located in the U.S. (with a preference for remote operations or NC, GA, CA, NV)

- Construction (siding, roofing, infrastructure)
- SaaS, Marketing Agencies, and Government Contracting
We’re selective. But when we find the right fit, we move with clarity, speed, and integrity.
From Service To Stewardship
“Veterans deserve more than a thank you.
They deserve ownership.”
Built for veterans by a veteran
You’ve Served This Country. Now It’s Time to Own a Piece of It.
We believe America becomes stronger when the people who protected it have the opportunity to build wealth, lead teams, and own something real.
Mettle Acquisitions exists to help veterans transition from service to business ownership — with mentorship, acquisition support, and the respect you’ve earned.
If you’re a veteran interested in buying a business, selling one, or partnering with people who understand purpose, you’re in the right place..
