Welcome.

Welcome, and thank you for visiting.My name is Jerom Geerts. I am looking to acquire and personally run one great business: a company with a strong foundation, a dedicated team, loyal customers, and a proud history. My goal is to steward that business into its next phase of growth and success while preserving the values and relationships that made it special in the first place.If you’re a business owner considering succession options, an intermediary with relevant opportunities, or simply interested in the search process, I invite you to explore further or reach out directly. I’d be keen to hear from you.

About Me

I grew up around entrepreneurs. My grandparents and father built businesses in agriculture and international trade, and that shaped a lifelong ambition to one day run a business of my own.I have spent twelve years in commercial leadership roles across global shipping and mining, leading negotiations, managing significant client portfolios, building long-term client partnerships and most passionately: working with teams on the ground.I recently completed a graduate business program at Melbourne Business School to prepare specifically for this next step. After years in large organisations, I am ready for something more hands-on: leading a meaningful business that creates jobs, builds community, and solves real problems.

My Approach

I am searching for one established, profitable business to acquire and run personally in Melbourne. I am drawn to businesses that do essential, skilled work, companies where the owner's expertise, relationships, and reputation are the real foundation.What I am looking for:• Revenue: $3–15 million
• Location: Melbourne and surrounds
• Industry: B2B services, industrial services, essential maintenance, testing and compliance, light manufacturing, or niche trade services.
• Ownership: Founder-led or family-owned, ideally with a succession need.
• Attributes: repeat customers, a stable team and a best-in-class reputation.
I bring hands-on leadership, a deep respect for legacy, and a long-term outlook. I care deeply about the people behind the business. I’m not interested in flipping businesses; I intend to fully commit, both operationally and personally, to the success of the company I acquire.Whether you’re an owner planning for retirement or an advisor representing one, I approach every conversation with transparency, curiosity, and care. Let's chat!

I’d love to connect.📍 Based in: Melbourne, Australia
