We Acquire and Steward
Exceptional Service Businesses.
Stinky Cowboy LLC is a private holding company built for the long term. We acquire owner-operated businesses across the home services and trades sectors and commit to running them well.
We are not here to restructure, rebrand, or exit.
We are here to own, operate, and grow.
If you have spent years building something worth keeping,
we want to be the right next chapter for it.
Permanent Capital
No fund cycle. No exit mandate.
Patient Operators
We listen before we act.
Legacy Preservation
We protect what already works.
Our Purpose
Why Stinky Cowboy Exists
We were built to serve a specific kind of business — one that already works, already matters, and deserves an owner who will honour that.
- Protect legacy owners and take over honourably, not disruptively
- Preserve the employees who are fundamental to the business's success
- Respect the link between family values and long-standing companies
- Create fanatic customers through consistency, care, and execution
- Build businesses with strong reputations and loyal repeat customers
Our Character
The Kind of Owner We Are
Long-term & Patient
We measure success in years, not quarters.
Strategic & Thoughtful
We make changes deliberately, not impulsively.
Calm Under Pressure
Steady leadership sets the tone for teams and customers.
Trust-Based
With employees, partners, and the communities we serve.
We believe in businesses that smell like effort.
Not polish. Not pitch decks. Not exit strategy theater.
Ownership is not dominance. It is responsibility.
Growth does not require noise. It requires discipline.
