ABOUT ANDREW MADDEN

An operator,
not a financier.

Growing up in Kentucky, I learned the value of hard work, grit, and keeping your word. Now, my wife and I are returning home to Kentucky to put down roots, start our family, and build our future here.

With that, my commitment to your business is personal. I don’t want to sit in a office analyzing spreadsheets. I want to be on your shop floor, in your warehouse, and serving our community.

I am seeking to partner with an owner ready to step back, but who wants the peace of mind that their life’s work is being passed to a dedicated, hands-on operator. I want to learn from your experience, protect your employees, and carry your legacy forward.

My track record ensures your business is in safe hands. I have spent my career on the front lines of business operations, gaining the real-world experience to lead your company into its next generation.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO GET THINGS DONE

How I work with you.

01For business owners

Your business stays — and grows.

  • I'm the next operator, not Private Equity or an institutional investor.
  • Confidentiality first; no details or information share without your consent.
  • Flexible structures: seller note, earn-out, transition runway.
  • Your name on the door for as long as it makes sense.
02For business brokers

A buyer who responds, signs, and closes.

  • Pre-planned capital; SBA eligible and soft circled equity.
  • 48-hour preliminary feedback on any CIM that fits criteria.
  • Clean, on-thesis offers. No bad faith re-trading after diligence.
  • Local Louisville operator; not a flighty, nationwide searcher. 
03For lenders & SBA brokers

A borrower who shows up prepared.

  • Complete personal financial statement & resume on request.
  • Realistic, model-backed projections — not hockey stick growth.
  • Strong personal liquidity reserves and personal guarantee.
  • Relationship-oriented buyer for future financing needs.
