Let’s Discuss your Business
We were founded with the objective of acquiring and operating one great, small business. We are not private equity. We believe small businesses are the backbone of the economy and have an outsized impact on customers, employees, and communities relative to their size. We aim to respect the legacy that’s been built, become stewards of the business, and help the business continue to have an outsized impact as it enters its next chapter.
About Us
Coty Nash was born and raised in the Atlanta suburbs, where he grew up playing competitive sports while observing his parents grow their residential construction company. Whether getting up early for a high school football workout before a travel baseball tournament in the afternoon or spending a spring break gutting and renovating a Florida rental property damaged by hurricane Ivan, Coty’s upbringing taught him the value of perseverance and hard work.
Coty started his career in Texas as an engineer at ExxonMobil where he worked in manufacturing and was part of construction, commissioning, and startup for one of the largest Chemical plants in North America. He later moved to Accenture Strategy where he led teams advising clients, large and small, on operations strategy across a variety of industries.
Coty currently lives in Chicago, IL with his wife, Angela, their newborn daughter, and their dog, Louie. Coty and Angela enjoy exploring the Chicago food scene, making use of the Midwest summers for hiking, camping, and golf, and investing in their church community.
The Nash Family Partners name was inspired by the belief that business is not a zero-sum game and treating customers and employees as family leads to positive outcomes for the business and the people involved. It is also a nod to the entrepreneurial legacy of both Coty’s and Angela’s families.
