to keep running.
Not a fund, not a broker, and nothing here to sell you. We acquire small operating businesses with our own capital and keep them operating — which matters most to owners who care what happens after they leave.

How it works
How we operate
Own capital, long holds, and decisions made by the people you're speaking to. No committee, no fund, no deadline to deploy.
Clear answers
A yes or a no within weeks, not a process that drags for months.
Our own capital
Which is why there's nothing here to sell you and no fundraising cycle.
Indefinite holds
We're not planning an exit, which changes how the business gets run.

How we work
Private, and plain about it
OIA Investments LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of Florida, with registration details on public record with the Florida Division of Corporations. It is privately funded and acquires for its own account.
It is not a fund, a registered investment adviser or a broker-dealer. It manages no money for anyone else, solicits no investment, and offers no security of any kind. Nothing on this site is an offer, a solicitation, or investment, legal or tax advice — for any of those, engage a licensed professional.
Frequently asked
The questions we get most
Can I invest with you?
No. The company uses its own capital and makes no offer of any security or investment to anyone. There is nothing here to buy.
Are you a private equity fund?
No. No outside investors, no fund, no deadline to deploy or exit. That difference is the whole point of how we operate.
What size of business do you look at?
Small, established and profitable. Tell us what it is and we'll say honestly whether it's a fit.
Will you keep the staff?
That's the intention in every case, and it's usually why an owner talks to us rather than running an auction. We won't promise an outcome before seeing a business.
How quickly do you respond?
Within a business day to a first message, and with a clear indication within weeks rather than months.
Do you give investment advice?
No, to anyone, ever. Nothing on this site is advice of any kind.
Thinking about stepping back?
A private conversation, at your pace, with a clear answer either way.
