Blog: Custom Fit: The Flexible Way Otter & Co. Structures Smart Business Deals

Let’s face it: Selling a business—or even scaling one—can feel overwhelming, especially when your team, culture, and legacy are on the line.

That’s where Otter & Co. steps in. We don’t walk in with a one-size-fits-all solution—we listen first, then craft a structure that solves for your current needs while opening the door to long-term growth. Flexibility is at the core of everything we do—because no two businesses (or owners) are ever the same.

Sometimes that means investing in a business that’s just getting started. Other times, it’s helping a well-established company access the capital and support it needs to reach the next level. And when owners are ready to step back, we create thoughtful transition plans that preserve what they’ve built.

Whether we’re co-creating a new entity, buying out a retiring partner, or simply backing a great operator with funding and expertise, our goal is the same: to build value and stability for the business—and the people behind it.

Our approach is simple: we meet you where you are and help take your business where it’s meant to go. Every deal is a true partnership—built on trust, flexibility, and a shared vision for growth.
