Don't Chase Trends.Invest With Intent.
Crome Group acquires established, cash-flowing businesses others overlook, and we never overpay. Conservative underwriting. Disciplined exits. Consistent returns.
Built by Operators.
Measured by Results.
Crome Group is a private equity firm that does one thing: acquire exceptional, established businesses and make them run better. We focus on the lower middle market, companies with $2M-$20M in enterprise value that are too large for individual buyers and too small for big institutions.
We're operators first. Every business we buy gets hands-on attention, not a holding company that checks in quarterly. We implement systems, optimize operations, and identify bolt-on acquisitions to grow the platform before selling to larger private equity at a higher multiple.
Founded by Tim Travis and Tim Stolt, Crome Group draws on decades of experience acquiring and scaling businesses across multiple industries.
What We Look For
What Does This Look
Like in Practice?
Using Weaver Outdoors as an illustration: at a $200,000 investment, an investor holds approximately 5% of the company.
With a projected 20% year-over-year growth rate, Weaver is expected to reach roughly $35M in revenue at the 10-year mark, with approximately $7M in EBITDA.
That yields a business valuation of approximately $28M at exit. Add 10 years of quarterly dividends at ~10% annually, and total return can exceed $1.6M.
These figures are projections based on current operating performance and reasonable growth assumptions. Not a guarantee of future results. See the 2026 Investor Deck for full detail.
Why This Works
We Buy Where Others Won't Look
Sub-$20M enterprise values are too small for institutional PE and too large for most individual buyers. Less competition, more reasonable sellers, better entry prices. This is our primary advantage.
We Pay ~3×. Others Pay 5-8×.
Larger PE groups routinely overpay to deploy capital. We've walked away from deals when the multiple went too high. Lower entry means higher returns. It's that simple.

Opportunities move quickly. Weaver Outdoors closed almost immediately after opening. Get on the list before the next deal.
Investing in private equity involves significant risk, including the potential loss of all or a substantial portion of invested capital, and is suitable only for accredited investors with a long-term horizon and limited liquidity needs. These investments are illiquid, subject to valuation uncertainty, and depend heavily on the investment manager. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and any projected returns shown are illustrative only.
