I'm Kola Akintola. Ready to Acquire, Operate, and Grow Your Business.

I'm actively searching for a successful business to own, operate, and grow in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. I believe in long-term ownership, operational excellence, and treating people right — from employees to customers to former owners.

Your business deserves more than just a buyer; it deserves a steward who will honor what you've built while taking it to new heights.

If you're considering a transition, I'm eager to connect with you and hear your story.

About

I bring a rare combination of global project management expertise and entrepreneurial grit. As a PMP-certified project manager who has managed multi-million dollar projects for companies like Mercedes and Volkswagen, I understand the mechanics of running complex operations. But more importantly, I've walked the entrepreneurial path myself, having founded two businesses and advised over 300 entrepreneurs across Africa through the AWEC program.

My expertise lies in diagnosing operational weaknesses and implementing data-driven systems that boost efficiency and drive revenue. I know how to build high-performing teams, navigate complex challenges, and create sustainable growth. Now I'm ready to apply this experience as an owner-operator, not just an advisor.

Value Proposition

I turn operational potential into profitable reality. My unique blend of consulting experience and entrepreneurial instincts allows me to see what others miss—the hidden opportunities in established businesses that need modern systems, better processes, and strategic vision.

When I acquire your business, you get:

A buyer with proven track record managing multi-million dollar operations
Deep expertise in process optimization and technology implementation
Commitment to preserving your company culture while driving growth
A partner who understands both the numbers and the human side of business

My Focus

I target fragmented, essential service businesses operating in defensible niches—companies that are fundamentally sound but operationally under-optimized. I'm looking for businesses with $300K-$3M in EBITDA that have been running successfully for at least five years.

Intrested:

Landscaping
Home Services
Electrical & Installation Services
Auto-related Services

Interested:

Fulfilment Centers
Light Manufacturing
Self-Storage
Laundromats

Interested:

Construction Mgt
Parking Lots
Light Manufacturing
Plumbing

Not Interested:

Cannabis
Restaurant
Retail
Pet Baording

I focus on businesses where I can implement modern technology, professionalize operations, and create new growth opportunities while respecting the foundation you've built.

My Story

Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how a single thriving business could serve as a lifeline for entire families and neighborhoods. This wasn't just entrepreneurship—it was economic survival and community building.

That early exposure to business ownership as a pathway to economic mobility shaped my entire career. I've spent over a decade building the skills needed to be an exceptional operator: managing complex projects across three continents, advising major corporations on operational strategy, and mentoring hundreds of entrepreneurs.

In college, I launched a web development firm that secured major school contracts. Later, I co-founded a QA testing platform that connected skilled testers with startups while reducing unemployment in my community. These experiences taught me what it takes to acquire clients, manage operations, and scale successfully.

For eight years, I've advised 300+ entrepreneurs, helping them strengthen management, grow revenue, and create jobs. Watching their transformation proved to me that business ownership is the most direct path to economic justice and generational wealth.

I'm looking for a real business with deep roots that I can steward, invest in, and grow. I want to honor what you've built, support your team, and create new opportunities for the future. My goal is to build a platform for sustainable, inclusive wealth creation—starting with your business and growing into a small holding company of well-run, essential service businesses.

I'm not just buying a business—I'm pursuing my life's work: doing what I love, leveraging everything I've learned, and creating lasting value for everyone involved.

What my clients say

Check out my clients’ reviews to see what they have to say about my work.

Melia By Jade

Kola served as my advisor for a project, and I have much to say about him, although a few points will suffice. Firstly, Kola’s attention to detail is exemplary; he meticulously crosses the “t’s” and dots the “i’s.” As someone who values detail, I found it refreshing to have an advisor committed to ensuring everything is done correctly.

Furthermore, Kola is a veritable treasure trove of resources. Whether it’s a contact or a book, he has a recommendation for nearly every challenge an entrepreneur might face, and his suggestions invariably prove to be an excellent fit for the needed solutions.

Another commendable aspect of Kola’s approach is his inclusivity. Managing our team of ten women, he navigated our diverse perspectives with patience and ensured everyone’s voice was heard, which is particularly noteworthy.

He not only offers valuable feedback but, as I’ve mentioned, serves as an indispensable resource for any entrepreneur. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with him again to expand my business beyond this project.
