About Us

Jeff Franco, Founder

Prior to starting Inwood Creek, Jeff led strategy for a 150 employee healthcare company, where he helped launch new products/services and expand across the US. Before that, he was a small business investor, providing owners with the capital and operational support needed to grow their businesses. During his investing years, Jeff covered companies across the business services, distribution, manufacturing, and marketing industries.Jeff received a BBA from UT Austin and an MBA from Penn. On a personal note, Jeff is married to his high school sweetheart, Kelli, and can usually be found hiking, playing a never-ending game of chase with his daughter, or cheering on his (frustratingly bad) San Antonio Spurs.

Our Team

Inwood Creek is backed by a strong group of investors and advisors who have years of experience helping small businesses. These partners will provide Jeff with the mentorship, guidance, and resources needed to support the company. We are capable of funding transactions in excess of $25 million.

How We Do Business

Prioritize Relationships

We'll work hard to maintain the culture you've built and give everyone a chance to continue growing professionally.

Integrity & Transparency

We say what we mean and do what we say. We intend to do business the right way, even if that means making tough decisions over the years.

Long-Term Focus

We're not trying to "flip" the business overnight. We plan to give 100% of our time to the business and work hard to see it thrive long-term.

Our Process

  • Intro Meeting - Let’s meet so we can discuss your business and get to know each other.

  • Exchange of Information - We would then request limited information about the business to help propose a valuation. Any information you share will be kept confidential.

  • Outlining the Deal - Assuming both sides remain interested in pursuing a transaction, we would agree on a letter of intent (LOI) outlining the terms of the acquisition or partnership.

  • Due Diligence - At that point, due diligence begins and legal documentation can be drafted. This process typically takes 60-90 days.

  • Closing - It’s time to celebrate together! We will sign the purchase agreement, wire you funds, and make sure a seamless transition plan is in place.
