About Us
Sahara Trading Company is a private investment firm specializing in the acquisition and growth of lower middle market businesses across North America. Originally founded as an import-export business, Sahara has since evolved into a focused private equity platform targeting essential service industries, including construction, HVAC, electrical, and other skilled trades.
We focus on control acquisitions of companies generating $500,000 to $10 million in EBITDA, with a preference for stable, cash-flowing operations and clear opportunities for growth through operational improvement or strategic add-ons.
Our firm is built around a dedicated and tightly integrated team of financial professionals—including former investment bankers and private equity professionals. From analysts and vice presidents to directors, each team member brings sharp analytical acumen, deep sector knowledge, and a disciplined approach to evaluating and executing investments. Every transaction is also supported by a full-time secretary who ensures seamless coordination across internal workflows and external stakeholders.
This structure enables Sahara to move with speed and precision—making informed decisions quickly, maintaining clear communication with all parties, and providing hands-on operational support post-close. Our lean but focused team allows us to maintain a high degree of involvement in every stage of the deal process, from sourcing to integration.
Headquartered in North America, Sahara also maintains offices in Asia and the Middle East, providing global reach and strategic insight across markets. This international footprint enhances our ability to manage cross-border supply chains, evaluate international opportunities, and build relationships that drive value across our portfolio.
