A family-backed long-term owner of great service businesses.
Good businesses deserve good next owners.
We are a family-backed group acquiring established service businesses to own and grow for the long term.
We look for businesses built on strong teams, loyal customers, trusted reputations, and years of hard-earned knowledge. Our goal is not to reinvent what already works. It is to become a thoughtful next owner, preserve what made the business successful, and build on it over time.
Who we are
A family building for the next generation.
Trade Partners Group is led by Arnab Mukherjee alongside his family. Our experience spans entrepreneurship, operating businesses, technology, and senior Fortune 500 financial leadership. Arnab has been entrepreneurial since childhood, starting with a paper route at 11, later building and selling a business, and spending his career leading products, operations, and teams in technology. Today, he and his family are focused on acquiring exceptional service businesses they can own for decades.
We invest our own family capital and think in generations, not exit timelines.
What we look for
Established businesses with something worth preserving.
We are most interested in service businesses with a strong reputation, capable employees, recurring or repeat customers, and an owner who has built something they are proud of.

Our approach to ownership
We buy businesses because we like what has already been built.
The team, customer relationships, reputation, and culture are not costs we are looking to remove. They are part of what we are buying. We believe the best first step after an acquisition is to listen. We want to understand how the company works, why customers stay, what employees value, and what the owner has learned over years of running the business. Change should come carefully, and only where it makes the business stronger.
Preserve what works
We do not arrive with a mandate to gut the team or replace the culture.
Learn before changing
The people who built and operate the business usually know things that cannot be found in a spreadsheet.
Own for the long term
We buy with the intention of holding businesses for decades, not selling them on a predetermined timeline.
Working with the seller
Closing does not have to mean disappearing.
We prefer thoughtful transition periods and often want founders to remain available as trusted advisors after closing. Nobody understands a business better than the person who built it. We value that knowledge and want to preserve it. Our goal is to create a transition that feels responsible to the seller, employees, customers, and the next chapter of the company.
Your knowledge does not become less valuable the day the transaction closes.
Why sellers work with us
A straightforward buyer with a long-term mindset.
Family-backed
We make decisions as a family and invest with a long-term view.
Operator-minded
We care about how the business actually runs, not just what it looks like on paper.
Respectful diligence
We ask detailed questions because we want to understand the business properly and avoid surprises for either side.
Continuity-focused
We care about employees, customers, vendor relationships, and reputation after closing.
Prepared to transact
We approach financing and diligence seriously and work toward a clean, professional process.
About Arnab
Led by an entrepreneur and operator.
Arnab Mukherjee has spent most of his life building, operating, and improving things. He started working young, delivering newspapers at 11. He later founded and sold a business, then built a career across technology, product, and operations. Those experiences shaped how he approaches acquisitions today: understand the people, understand how the business works, protect what is valuable, and improve carefully over time.
He leads acquisitions for Trade Partners Group alongside his family.
A confidential conversation
Thinking about what comes next?
If you own an established service business and are considering a transition, we would be happy to have a confidential conversation. There does not need to be a formal sale process. We are equally comfortable starting with a simple introduction and learning about the business you have built.
