Your life's work deserves a
thoughtful next chapter.
We are looking to partner with one business owner on a thoughtful transition
— preserving what has been built while stewarding its future.
Nice to meet you. My name is Christabel Kim, and I am looking to acquire and personally lead one exceptional business for the long term.
Over 15 years, I have helped B2B services and technology companies grow — including as a strategy consultant at Ernst & Young, in enterprise sales and business development roles at Amazon Web Services, and most recently as Head of Customer (Post-sales) at Secoda (later acquired by Atlassian).
My motivation to acquire a business is deeply personal. Growing up in a family business, working alongside my parents, shaped my appreciation for entrepreneurship from an early age. I understand the years of hard work, personal sacrifice, and commitment required to build something meaningful — and I recognize that choosing who will carry that legacy forward is one of the most important decisions a business owner can make. My goal is not to change what is already working — it is to preserve it, invest in its people, and build on the foundation you have created.
I would welcome the opportunity to learn more about you, your business, and your goals for the future. Every conversation is private and confidential, allowing us to explore whether we may be the right fit to partner together for the next chapter.

OUR DIFFERENCE
SINGULAR FOCUS
We focus on acquiring and operating one business, meaning we are undivided in our energy, focus, and mindshare.
THOUGHTFUL TRANSITION
We are committed to a constructive and straightforward negotiation process built on respect and honesty. We aim for acquisition terms that are fair to the current owner and support the long-term success of the company. We aim to create a mutually positive experience.
ENTREPRENEURIAL STEWARDSHIP
We apply the best of founder and owner spirit to bring innovation, energy, creativity, responsibility, integrity, and longevity to the business. We cultivate a people-first culture.
SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM GROWTH
Our intention is to own and operate the business for the long term, investing in people, processes, and opportunities that strengthen the company's future.
OUR PROCESS
We understand that selling a business is one of the most important and pivotal event in an owner’s life. We are determined to make it a positive partnership. Here is a typical process:
Step 1
Engage in exploratory conversation
We start by having an exploratory conversation, including introductions, overview of Flora Partner’s approach.
Step 2
Sign an NDA & review statements
Out of respect for each other’s time and efforts, we sign an NDA and reviewing 3 years of financial statements up front. This allows us to ensure mutual and informed interest and fit. [1-2 weeks]
Step 3
Meet & greet (onsite)
We visit you, your management team, and the company to learn more about the company (current and future). We review additional information and discuss joint objectives. [1-2 weeks]
Step 4
Provide indicative offer
We provide a Letter of Intent (LOI), i.e. a non-binding offer with our proposed structure and price range. [2 weeks]
Step 5
Conduct due diligence
We conduct a full diligence process including financial, legal, tax, and regulatory review. [4-6 weeks]
Step 6
Sign & transition
We sign and execute the final purchase and sale agreement (PSA). We transition into operating the business and build on the legacy.
