RayLio Holdings is a privately held investment firm focused on acquiring and operating a small number of high-quality, enduring service businesses. We invest our own capital, partner closely with founders and operators, and measure success over decades — not quarters.We are active buyers across two core verticals:• Essential Business Services (traditional, predictable, cash-flowing services)
• IT Services (consulting, managed services, or technology-enabled services across end-markets with strong growth tailwinds)
We seek essential, predictable, mature service businesses with durable demand and strong operating fundamentals. These are businesses that provide mission-critical services, generate recurring or highly repeatable revenue, and are not dependent on the selling owner’s day-to-day involvement.
Core characteristics
• 10+ years of operating history
• Recurring or predictable revenue with consistent cash flow
• 15%+ margins
• $1MM – $5MM EBITDA
• Established people and processes, or sufficient cash flow to support hiring a general manager
Industries of interest
• Non-hazardous waste collection and hauling
• Septic pumping, grease-trap cleaning, portable sanitation services, water hauling, fences
• Funeral homes, cemeteries, and crematoriums
• Fire protection (inspection, testing, and maintenance)
• Specialty contracting and trade services (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, mechanical)
• Building services and property-related services (e.g., doors, gates, access systems, specialty installation & maintenance)
• Preference for controlling majority ownership
• Simple, transparent deal structures with strong alignment
• Sellers are not required to remain post-close, though we value continuity in day-to-day leadership
We prefer to partner with owners who view what they’ve built as part of their legacy. Our goal is to preserve culture, protect employees, and build on the business’s reputation for the long term.
IT Services
We are actively seeking founder-led IT services businesses operating in fast-growing, mission-critical technology markets. Our focus is on companies with proven customer value, strong vendor relationships, and a clear path to scaling with the right operational and financial support.
Core characteristics
• Exposure to attractive, secularly growing end markets (15–20%+ growth), including cybersecurity, cloud, managed services, data, and enterprise IT
• Founder-owned or founder-led businesses, with an engaged owner or a clear succession plan
• Strong, repeatable case studies with mid-market and enterprise customers
• Favorable standing with key OEMs and technology partners (elevated tiers, preferred status, or partner awards)
• $1MM – $5MM EBITDA
Industries of interest
• Managed IT services and managed security services (MSPs / MSSPs)
• Cybersecurity services and compliance-focused security providers
• Cloud migration, cloud operations, and infrastructure services
• Data, analytics, and enterprise application services
• Vertical-focused IT services with deep domain expertise
Deal Approach
• Flexibility on transaction structure – minority, majority, or structured debt, depending on founders’ objectives
• Strong alignment through meaningful founder rollover and continued involvement where appropriate
• Flexible structures designed to support growth rather than near-term liquidity
Our Philosophy
Across both verticals, we aim to be a preferred buyer: collaborative, transparent, and execution oriented.We partner closely with founders and management teams, respect what has already been built, and focus on sustainable value creation rather than short-term financial engineering.
