F.A.Q.

At Foundation Partners, we are here to answer any questions you may have.

What is Foundation Partners Group looking for in a partner?

We’re looking to partner with companies that can help us define the future of the deathcare profession. At Foundation Partners, we partner with businesses that are excited for new challenges and change, and are committed to providing high-quality services for their families and local communities.

How does Foundation Partners value my business?

We work with funeral home and cemetery owners to establish a fair market value based on historical performance, market positioning, and future growth potential.

Our M&A Partnership team works with you to identify a short list of information that can allow us to quickly provide you with a potential partnership structure to help inform your succession planning. Once this information is received, we can provide you with our feedback in just a few short weeks. 

How does joining Foundation Partners improve my business?

The key word is innovation. We bring the operating, financial, marketing, and technology expertise from our network to help you better serve your local community, find and retain valuable team members, and continue to grow your business.

We believe there is great value in funeral service operations built on the trust, expertise, and reputation of local community relationships. Our strategy is to invest in your business to ensure that success continues.

How long does the process take?

Following receipt of the initial requested information, we can provide you with our thoughts on a potential acquisition structure in one to two weeks. The entire process from the initial offer to close typically takes around 100 days.

What happens to my employees?

We’re a growing organization that invests in our team members for their own professional growth and development. Your employees are the backbone of any organization - they have key trusted relationships in your community and know the ins and outs of your operations. We want to support them by providing them with vital resources, comprehensive benefits packages, and professional growth opportunities.

We consider all your talented employees our most valuable asset and work to foster their talent so we can grow and prosper together.

What is expected of owners after the transaction?

Owners are critical to our mutual success, especially in the time immediately after acquisition. We value your expertise, and work to craft a mutually beneficial arrangement that allows you to achieve your ideal vision for succession planning – whether that includes continuing in your current role without the 24/7 stress of ownership, shifting to a local community relations consulting role, or trust your business legacy to us and pursue life’s other passions in retirement.

What if I’m not interested in selling today?

Foundation Partners believes only a business owner can decide when the time is right to enact their succession plan. However, it’s never too early to start understanding the options available to you. Understanding the current market value of your business can be a vital piece of information to craft your long-term succession plan and identify any near-term goals to make your vision a reality. 

The valuation process takes only a couple of weeks, with no obligation on your end, and is conducted in total confidentiality.
