A Different Conversation About What You've Built

I'm Farrah Cosby, and I'm looking to connect with a business owner who is thinking about retirement but doesn't have a clear path out. This isn't about transactions for me, it's about preserving what you've spent years building.

Who I Am

I'm a single mom to a five-year-old boy, and I was raised by a single father who spent his younger years as a blue-collar tradesman and later supporting entrepreneurs as an estimator in residential construction.Professionally, I've spent my career focused on customer experience strategy, consulting with small businesses and larger organizations alike, including years supporting federal government clients. Small businesses, especially service and trade businesses, have always been close to my heart. I grew up around them, respect the work they require, and deeply value the role they play in their communities.

I'm Not a Broker, And That Matters

I'm interested in connecting with long-standing, community-based business owners who may be thinking about retirement, don't have a clear successor, but deeply care about what happens next.My goal isn't to "change" a business that works. It's to protect what's already been built, continue serving customers at the same high level, and ensure employees are provided with the same respect and stability.I don't view businesses as transactions. I view them as legacies, built over years of hard work, relationships, and reputation. My goal would never be to disrupt what already works, but to preserve it, support it, and thoughtfully carry it forward.

A Family-Centered Approach

One of the reasons this matters so much to me is family.My father has a deep respect for craftsmanship, customers, and the people who do the work day in and day out. He gets along with everyone and would be a supportive presence for both employees and customers.My aunt is an accountant with a strong background in leadership and management. She understands the importance of sound books, steady operations, and taking care of people responsibly.My hope is to involve my family in a way that makes their final working years easier, more fulfilling, and meaningful, while building something that can eventually be passed on to my son. This is not a short-term project for me; it's a long-term commitment.

What Matters to Me

- Employees matter. Customers matter. Community reputation matters.- I'm not looking to flip or overhaul anything. I'm looking to become a good steward of a business that already has a strong foundation.- If there were ever an opportunity to explore a transition, I would genuinely want you, the current owner, to remain involved for a period of time, ideally three to six months, so I can learn how the business truly operates, understand its nuances, and ensure continuity for employees and customers.

Why This Might Be Relevant to you

This is simply an invitation to talk.If you've been thinking about retirement but haven't found someone you feel comfortable trusting with the business you built, I'd welcome the chance to get to know you and learn more about what matters most to you.There's no rush, and no expectation. This is simply an open door to talk through possibilities at your pace.Regardless of whether we speak, I want to say this sincerely: the work you've done in your business and in the community matters, so thank you.

I'm Here to Talk When You're Ready

Preserving legacies. Honoring craftsmanship. Building for the next generation.
