01
A team that runs well
The business operates day-to-day without depending on a single person.
I find great businesses and run them.
Buying one established, profitable company to own and operate for the long term.
Approach
I start with what you built and the people who built it with you.
Most buyers flip, restructure, or roll companies up. I buy one business to own and run it - not as a passive investor, but as the new owner-operator.
I've spent my career building and operating companies across technology, healthcare, agtech, and consulting. I've seen what works and what doesn't across dozens of businesses. The lasting lesson is the simplest one: let your customer be your guide.
About
George Roche
Founder
I'm buying one established business and running it as owner-CEO for the long term.
Before Laurelton, I co-founded and operated companies, advised leadership teams at global organizations, and worked across biotech, agtech, and digital health. I bring an entrepreneur's instincts and an operator's intent to every business I look at.
I'm a US citizen based in London, and I'll relocate to the business to be on-site with the team as the new owner.

Podcast
Still Want In?
A business podcast presented by Laurelton Partners
Still Want In? is honest conversations with the owners of the unglamorous companies that quietly run the economy. One operator, one business, the real economics - the parts that look easy from the outside and the things that are genuinely hard.
It exists to take that work seriously and pass on what these owners know - useful to anyone who owns, buys, or runs one of these businesses.
