Criteria Safety, Compliance & Environmental Services
Industry Focus

We're acquiring safety, compliance and quality consulting firms.

OSHA compliance, workplace safety programs, quality management systems, regulatory consulting, environmental health and safety advisory. If you've built a consulting firm that helps businesses stay safe and compliant, we'd like to talk.

Why we like safety and compliance consulting.

Regulatory requirements don't go away. OSHA, EPA, FDA, state agencies, and industry-specific standards create a constant demand for expert advisory services. Companies need help building safety programs, passing audits, training employees, managing incident investigations, and maintaining compliance documentation. This work is recurring by nature because regulations evolve, audits repeat, and training certifications expire.

The moat is expertise and trust. Safety and compliance consultants become embedded in their clients' operations. They know the facilities, the risks, the regulatory history, and the people. That institutional knowledge makes switching costly and uncomfortable. Firms that have built deep relationships with operations managers, safety directors, and C-suite executives have a competitive position that's difficult to displace.

What we're looking for

$1M+ EBITDA with consistent profitability
Recurring or contract-based revenue
Established reputation and client base
Trained, reliable operations team
Owner looking to transition in 1 to 3 years

Why we're actively pursuing this space.

Safety, compliance, and quality consulting firms serve clients who face real consequences for non-compliance: fines, shutdowns, lawsuits, and reputational damage. That makes the spend essential and the relationships sticky. The best firms in this space have built their businesses on decades of expertise, certifications, and trusted advisory relationships that clients rely on year after year.

We want to partner with consulting firm owners who've built that kind of trust and help them grow. Whether that means expanding service lines, entering new industries, building a bench of consultants for succession, or simply ensuring the firm thrives for the next generation, we bring the capital and support to make it happen.
