Turnaround Deals for Searchers

Anyone out there looking for small turnaround opportunities? I was but my cup runneth over and I occasionally have some one-off opportunities that someone else might be interested in.

Currently I have two mfg companies that are fixable and buyable but I don’t have the time for either, nor have I found anyone I can recruit in as a GM/President. The steel fabrication businesses is $5M revenues the wood products business is $7M. These two are going quick but there will be others.

If you are a free agent or search funder who is able to get involved in a deal like this, please pm me.
Experience will be a big plus.
