The investment approach

Build on what already works.

HLG’s public strategy pairs control investments in profitable companies with hands-on operating support and considered technology adoption.

01 / Select with discipline

Start with durable demand.

HLG currently describes an acquisition focus across home and property services, professional services, and healthcare, with a U.S. geographic focus that includes Texas, Louisiana, and the Midwest.

Profitable, established businesses

The current public target profile lists $1–10 million in revenue. The fund’s definitive offering documents and final investment decisions govern actual criteria.

Controlling investments

HLG’s public materials describe taking majority or control equity positions. Ownership, governance, valuation, and transaction terms are specific to each transaction.

02 / Improve the operation

Make the work easier to run.

Better systems should support the people doing the work and the customers who rely on them.

A

Understand the current business

Learn how customers are served, what the team already does well, and where coordination creates unnecessary effort.

B

Prioritize the practical changes

Identify opportunities in scheduling, intake, billing, records, and follow-up. Work should be grounded in the needs of each acquired company.

C

Support company leaders

Make changes alongside the people responsible for the business, with clear owners and appropriate review points.

03 / AI-enabled operations

Capacity. Control. More durable earnings.

AI automation can raise a home-service business’s value by capturing demand, improving technician utilization, and reducing owner bottlenecks. The upside shows up in measurable earnings and stronger operating handoffs.

Answer and book

Cover calls, qualify work, and schedule jobs while the team is serving customers.

Use every route well

Coordinate skills, geography, availability, and follow-up work across the technician schedule.

Close the follow-up loop

Keep estimates, maintenance reminders, and customer updates moving on time.

Reduce owner bottlenecks

Give managers clear workflows and decision history they can use without waiting for the owner.
