We buy the businesses your neighborhood already depends on.

Costera Capital acquires established, essential local businesses across the New York metro area, and keeps running them the way they earned their name.

Our approach to holding a business

Not a roll-up.

We're a small, independent buyer, not a private equity fund chasing a fast flip. When we acquire a business, we plan around a patient, multi-year hold, keep the name on the door, and let the people who built its reputation keep building it.

Continuity over disruption

Owners and technicians stay. Customers see no difference the day after close, except maybe a faster callback.

Recession-resistant sectors

Heating goes out. People eat groceries. We buy businesses that matter in any economy, not ones riding a trend.

One deal at a time

We're not scaling a large portfolio for a quick turnaround. Each acquisition gets our full attention, before and long after close.

Local, in person

We're based in New York and buy in New York. If something needs a site visit, we're already close by.

What we're looking for

If your business fits most of this, we'd like to talk, whether or not you're actively selling yet.

Industry
Service-Based Industries: HVAC, Plumbing, Pest Control, Auto Body Shops, or Grocery / Independent Supermarket Operators.

At least 20 years of continuous operation under current or prior ownership.
Earnings
Meaningful, established profitability, not an early-stage or turnaround business.
