Rospex acquires profitable, established businesses in the Southeast U.S. from owners ready for their next chapter and operates them for the long term. No fund timelines. No financial engineering. One committed operator.
Not every buyer is the same.
Here's how Rospex works and why it matters to you.
Alex will run the business himself. Not a board seat. Not a hired manager. Present, accountable, and invested.
No fund timelines. No exit strategy. We acquire to own and grow, not to flip and exit in 3-5 years.
We don't rebrand, relocate, or gut the businesses we buy. We build on what you built.
We retain key people, invest in their growth, and tie compensation to performance, not headcount reduction.
No investment committee. No rounds of approvals. You deal with Alex directly: from first call to close.
SBA 7(a) ready, open to seller notes, and structured to meet your timeline - not ours.
We also consider businesses with transitional challenges: owner fatigue, key-person dependency, or operational gaps, where a commercial turnaround creates clear value. Don't rule it out without a conversation.
If you've spoken with private equity firms before, you know the drill: long processes, investment committees, management restructuring, and a 5-year exit plan. Rospex is not that buyer.
A confidential call - no obligation, no pressure. We learn about your business, your goals, and your timeline. You learn about us.
You share a summary of financials. We review quickly and tell you honestly whether we see a fit, typically within 48 hours.
We come to you. Meet the team, understand operations, ask the real questions. No surprises later.
A fair, reasoned offer with clear terms and a flexible structure. We don't low-ball to retrade later.
A structured handover to match business needs. We stay close to ensure continuity for your customers, employees, and reputation.
Alex Naumov started his first business from scratch at 21 - a fast-casual food concept in Eastern Europe that grew from a single walk-up café to 12 locations, 110 employees, and $2M in annual revenue in under three years. He built it, ran it, and sold it profitably. That experience - the hiring decisions, the tight cash flow, the supplier negotiations, the culture-building - is the foundation of how he thinks about every business he evaluates today.
After that exit, Alex spent 20+ years in senior commercial and executive roles at some of the world's largest companies - General Electric, The Home Depot, WestRock, Rubicon Technologies, Huhtamaki, and Sealed Air - consistently driving revenue growth, building commercial functions from scratch, and improving profitability across manufacturing, distribution, services, and retail. He holds an MBA from Columbus State University and a B.S. from the University of Maryland.
Today, Alex is returning to what he does best: owning and operating a business. Rospex Holdings is the vehicle. He is not a passive investor managing a portfolio. He will be in the business: engaged with employees, present with customers, and accountable for results.
