Partnering with exceptional exterior cleaning and holiday lighting companies to build something bigger—together.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. FREEDOM TO LEAD.

Ascend preserves local brands, empowers local leadership, and provides the capital, systems, marketing, technology, and operational support needed to accelerate growth. Through platform ownership, you continue participating in the long-term value you help create—backed by the strength of a larger organization and a community of like-minded entrepreneurs.

Explore Our Partnership Model

Whether your goal is to accelerate growth, preserve your legacy, create a succession plan, reduce personal risk, or take meaningful chips off the table while continuing to participate in future upside, Ascend works with you to build an aligned Partnership.

OUR STRATEGY

We don’t acquire businesses to change what made them successful—we partner with exceptional entrepreneurs to help them build on it.

Ascend invests in strong leadership teams, established local brands, and cultures worth preserving. Through shared resources, operational excellence, leadership development, and platform ownership, we help our partners accelerate growth while maintaining the independence, identity, and reputation that earned their customers’ trust.

BUILDING REGIONAL STRENGTH. ONE MARKET AT A TIME.

We partner with exceptional exterior cleaning and holiday lighting companies throughout the Midwest, East, and Southeast. By concentrating our growth in strategically aligned markets, we create stronger regional brands, greater operational efficiency, and more opportunities for our employees, customers, and partners.

FLEXIBLE PARTNERSHIPS

No two founders have the same goals, and no two partnerships should look exactly alike. Whether you're looking to remain actively involved, transition leadership over time, or plan for your next chapter, we structure partnerships that align with your personal, financial, and long-term objectives.

SHARED RESOURCES. LOCAL LEADERSHIP.

We strengthen businesses without replacing what made them successful. Ascend provides strategic leadership, marketing, technology, financial discipline, recruiting support, and operational best practices while empowering local teams to continue leading the brands and communities they know best.

BUILDING VALUE TOGETHER

Our success is built on the success of our partners. Through platform ownership, shared best practices, and a commitment to continuous improvement, we work alongside exceptional entrepreneurs to create lasting value for employees, customers, founders, and investors.
