We achieve our clients’ growth objectives by through:
- Completing Business Acquisitions On Behalf of Our Client
- Directly Funding Business Acquisition Opportunities
- Acquiring Majority Interests in Our Clients So We Can Finance and Manage Future Growth
At BizGro Partners, we help our clients establish a business acquisition criteria, identify business acquisition opportunities on their behalf, help structure and negotiate the transaction, perform due diligence, and either directly fund or raise outside capital needed to complete the acquisition.

About Us

J.C. Maldonado III
CEO/Principal
J.C. Maldonado III is the CEO of BizGro Partners. JC originally founded the predecessor entity, that evolved into BizGro, in the year 2000 as a M&A Firm that focused on helping small & middle market companies buy & sell companies. Over the years JC and his partners saw that the clientele they served needed services that go beyond the scope of Investment Banking Services. He also saw that Baby Boomer owners in their 50s & 60s are more apt to hold on to their businesses and expand their companies as opposed to exiting and retiring. This marketplace dynamic further influenced the decision for BizGro to go from being an M&A Firm to a Full Service Business Development Firm. JC is an experienced trainer, motivator, & sales manager. He has a J.D. from Fordham University and chose to go into business instead of practicing law.
