Why Station Street

A different kind of buyer — because most owners deserve better than the usual process

You deal directly with me

Station Street was set up to find and acquire one great business. That means you're not a deal in a pipeline — you're the whole focus. You'll speak directly with Chris throughout, not an intermediary.

No brokers. No commissions.

Brokers charge 5–10% of the sale price to run a process you could do in a single conversation. We work directly with owners — which keeps the process simple, confidential, and the value where it belongs.

We buy to operate, not to flip

We're not a fund with a 5-year exit timeline. We buy businesses to run them and grow them — which means we care about your team, your customers, and the culture you've built over the years.

What we look for

Good businesses built by people who care about what they've created

We're not chasing a specific industry or a particular type of business. What we're looking for is simpler than that — a business with stable revenue, a good team, and an owner who's ready to hand the reins to someone who will look after it.

If your business has been running for five or more years and you've been quietly wondering what happens to it when you decide to stop — that's exactly the conversation we'd like to have.

There's no obligation and no pressure. Sometimes these conversations happen years before anything changes. That's fine — we'd rather talk early than have you feel rushed.

How it works

A straightforward process, from first conversation to settlement

01

We have a coffee

A confidential, no-obligation catch-up to understand your business and what you're looking for. No paperwork, no pressure, no broker sitting between us.

02

We make a fair offer

If there's a fit, we move quickly to review the numbers and present a clear, straightforward offer. No drawn-out processes or unexpected conditions at the end.

03

We settle on your terms

We work around your timeline — whether that's 90 days or 12 months. We want a transition that works for you, your team, and your customers.

CM

One buyer. One focus. Fully committed to finding the right business.

I'm Chris Macrow, the founder of Station Street. I set this up specifically to find and acquire one great business from an owner who's ready to move on — which means if we're talking, you have my complete attention, not a share of it.

My background spans accounting, finance, and sales. I understand how businesses actually work day to day, not just what the numbers say on paper. I know how to assess a business properly and I know how to run one.

I'm not looking to flip what you've built. I'm looking for a business with good bones and great people, where I can take the reins and keep growing what you started. If you want to talk to someone who will be straight with you, I'd be glad to have that conversation.
