Question 1

Will my employees, clients, or competitors find out we are talking?

Accepted Answer

Not from us. Early conversations do not require anything confidential, and we sign confidentiality terms before any sensitive information is shared. Please do not send financials or employee details through the website form.

Question 2

Do I need to send financials to start?

Accepted Answer

No. The first step is a conversation about your firm and what you are thinking about. If there is mutual interest, we agree on confidentiality terms first and then say exactly what information we would need.

Question 3

Will my team stay?

Accepted Answer

The people are a big part of why we would be interested. We look for management teams that can stay and grow with the firm. We are not looking to extract and exit.

Question 4

Do I have to stay on after a sale?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your goals and what the business needs. Some owners want to stay involved, others want a planned handoff. We talk about it openly in the first conversations.

Question 5

Will my company keep its name?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. The name your clients know is part of what makes the firm worth owning. We talk it through with each owner early.

Question 6

What size firm are you looking for?

Accepted Answer

We do not publish a minimum or maximum. What matters is strong repeat clients, a record of complex commercial work, a team that can stay, and a fit between Washington, D.C. and Boston. If you are not sure, ask.

Question 7

What kind of firms do you buy?

Accepted Answer

Commercial construction management and general contracting firms, plus firms closely tied to that work, across commercial, mission-critical, data centers, and infrastructure, as well as healthcare, life sciences, and higher education.

Question 8

My firm is going through a hard stretch. Should I still call?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A difficult transition is one of the situations we talk with owners about. A conversation commits you to nothing.

Question 9

How long does this take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the firm and on your timing. You will hear back within one business day of reaching out. After that, you set the pace with us, and we tell you plainly what each step involves before we take it.

Question 10

Are you a broker? Do you charge a fee?

Accepted Answer

No. MACC Group is a direct buyer. We acquire and partner with commercial CM and GC firms ourselves. There is no cost to start a confidential conversation.

Question 11

Should I bring my own advisors?

Accepted Answer

We encourage it. If you have an attorney, CPA, or M&A advisor, we are glad to work through them.

Question 12

Who is MACC Group?

Accepted Answer

MACC Group is MACC's acquisitions arm. MACC runs an active construction management and general contracting business, so you are talking to a builder that understands the work.

Question 13

How do I start?

Accepted Answer

Fill out the short confidential form or email contact@4maccgroup.com. You will hear back within one business day. No financials needed to start.
