Arvore will initially target founder-led Texas businesses across five core verticals, with EBITDA ranging from $1 million to $10 million.
Texas is a natural entry point for Arvore within the United States marketplace”— Stephen JohnstonCALGARY, AB, CANADA, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Omnigence Asset Management (“Omnigence”) announced today that Arvore (US) LP (“Arvore”) will direct its first U.S. purchases toward the Texas lower mid-market, aiming to acquire founder-operated companies with EBITDA between $1 million and $10 million across its five primary sectors: building products distribution, environmental services, automotive maintenance, master franchisors, and light industrial.
Texas boasts one of the largest and most fragmented small-business economies in all of North America, hosting a substantial pool of founder-owned enterprises approaching a change in ownership. Arvore’s approach is tailored precisely for this landscape — discovering proprietary, low-multiple acquisitions, combining them via a technology-driven operating platform, and expanding them toward the middle market, where valuations are elevated and the buyer pool is more extensive.
A coming wave of retirements among business owners is producing an unprecedented volume of quality firms available for purchase, while the lower mid-market sees less competition than large-cap private equity. This situation offers a strong chance to buy excellent companies at attractive prices.
“Texas is a natural entry point for Arvore within the United States marketplace,” said Stephen Johnston, partner at Arvore and a director of Omnigence. “The market has exactly the characteristics we look for: a large number of well-run, founder-led businesses, sectors with durable demand, and far less competition for deals than in the large-cap space. Our model is designed to give these owners a good outcome and our investors consistent cash returns.”
