Arvore’s initial focus will be on founder-led companies in Texas across five specific sectors, with EBITDA between $1 million and $10 million.
Texas is a natural entry point for Arvore within the United States marketplace”— Stephen JohnstonCALGARY, AB, CANADA, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Omnigence Asset Management (“Omnigence”) revealed today that Arvore (US) LP (“Arvore”) will direct its first U.S. acquisitions toward the lower mid-market in Texas, pursuing founder-led companies with EBITDA between $1 million and $10 million within Arvore’s five primary verticals: building products distribution, environmental services, automotive maintenance, master franchisors, and light industrial.
Texas boasts one of the most extensive and fragmented small-business economies in North America, featuring a substantial pool of owner-operated enterprises nearing ownership transitions. Arvore’s approach is tailored for this setting—securing proprietary, low-multiple deals, combining them via a tech-driven operational platform, and expanding them toward the middle market, where valuations rise and the buyer landscape broadens.
An impending wave of retirements among business owners is generating an unprecedented availability of high-quality acquisition targets, while the lower mid-market faces less competition compared to large-cap private equity. This situation presents a strong chance to purchase excellent businesses at attractive prices.
“Texas is a natural entry point for Arvore within the United States marketplace,” said Stephen Johnston, partner at Arvore and a director of Omnigence. “The market has exactly the characteristics we look for: a large number of well-run, founder-led businesses, sectors with durable demand, and far less competition for deals than in the large-cap space. Our model is designed to give these owners a good outcome and our investors consistent cash returns.”
