Baltimore · Business transitions, both sides
A generation of owners is retiring.
Their businesses deserve better than a listing.
We work both sides of the biggest ownership transfer in American history — helping buyers buy systems instead of jobs, and helping owners hand over businesses that are worth handing over.
Searchers and first-time acquirers: build your buybox, pressure-test your targets, and install real systems in your first hundred days of ownership.

Enter as an owner →“Don’t buy a job. Buy a system — or buy the business and we’ll install one in your first hundred days.”
The firm
One methodology, both sides of the table.
Silver Tsunami Partners is run by Tim Naughton — a Baltimore-native operator with real exits, back home to work the wave from the ground: in the buildings, in the books, in the software older than the trucks. The same four systems a buyer pays a premium for — Growth, Operations, Finance, Continuity — are the four systems we score, plan, and install.
