CAL. STATUS — VERIFIED

Who we are

A partnership platform, not a strategic buyer with a checklist.

Precision Calibration Partners exists because calibration businesses do not fit neatly into a private equity playbook. The value sits in the technicians, the accreditation, the customer relationships built over years of showing up on schedule. We built this platform to partner with owners who want to see that continue, not get folded into a logo change.

We are backed by Dekos Capital, a Dallas and Houston based investment firm, and we are looking nationwide. If you have built a calibration business that customers trust, we would like to talk with you directly, owner to owner.

How we partner

Three ways to work with us

There is no single right way to sell a business you built. These are the paths owners bring to us most often. We can talk through what fits before anything else is decided.

SELL & STEP AWAY

A clean exit

You have earned the right to be done. We take over ownership and operations, keep your team and customers in place, and give you a clear transition timeline instead of a long earnout.

SELL & STAY ON

Keep running the shop

You sell the business and stay in the role you actually enjoy, running the lab, managing techs, working with customers, without the parts of ownership that were never the fun part anyway.

GROWTH CAPITAL

Take some chips off, keep building

You are not ready to sell the whole thing. We bring capital and infrastructure to help you add capacity, equipment, or a second location, while you keep meaningful ownership.

Why partner with us

What we bring that a strategic buyer usually will not

Capital to grow, not just to close

We reinvest in equipment, technicians, and a second location if that's the next step. Our involvement doesn't end at the purchase price.

Back office support that frees you up

Payroll, accounting, HR, and IT move off your plate, so you can spend your time on customers and the lab floor instead of admin work.

Help staying ahead on accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025 and NIST traceability take ongoing investment, not a one time push. We keep funding that work as you grow, not just through the audit that gets us to close.

Recruiting and retaining technicians

Finding and keeping good calibration techs is one of the hardest parts of running this business. We build that pipeline with you, not leave it to you alone.

Systems that scale with you

Scheduling, dispatch, and customer tracking tools built for a growing, possibly multi-location calibration business, not the spreadsheet that got you this far.

An operational partner, not a spreadsheet

Our partners stay involved day to day after close. We're invested in the business doing well for years, not in the deal closing and moving on to the next one.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does the process take?

Most owners hear back from us within a few days of an initial call. If it looks like a fit on both sides, we can typically get to a signed letter of intent within 10 days of exchanging basic information, and close within 60 to 90 days after that.

Will you tell anyone I am talking to you?

No. We sign a mutual NDA before discussing any specifics, and we do not share your information with brokers, competitors, or other buyers.

Do I need to be ISO/IEC 17025 accredited?

No. It is a strong signal of a well-run lab and helps in evaluation, but plenty of businesses we talk to are not accredited and that alone does not rule anything out.

What happens to my employees?

In almost every deal we structure, the technicians and staff stay on. The team is a core part of why the business works, and we tell you upfront how we plan to handle that.

Do I have to sell the whole business?

No. Some owners want a full exit, others want to sell a majority stake and stay involved, and some are only looking for growth capital. We can talk through what actually fits your situation.
