We are always seeking successful and innovative companies to join the BearCom family and help us better serve our customers.
At BearCom, acquisitions are much more than black and white financial transactions; they are the beginning of long-term relationships. To make these long-term relationships work, we focus on the most important thing: the people. We believe that people are what make any organization great, having a genuine impact on company culture. We believe a positive company culture and a real passion for our people is what has fueled our exceptional growth over the last several years. Many of the former owners of the businesses we have acquired have fully embraced the BearCom culture and are still working at BearCom today.
We have accomplished so many great things over the years with the help of our new teammates. By utilizing each other's unique strengths, we can continue to meet and exceed the diverse and ever-changing expectations and needs of our customers. We are always looking to expand our market presence with a focus on providing world-class solutions and services to our customers. Our goal is to be our clients' go-to trusted advisor when it comes to all their voice, video, and data needs, and we would love for you to help us achieve that goal!
We are actively seeking organizations who can help us to:
- Grow our geographic reach so we can be closer to our customers
- Expand our product and solution portfolio so we can solve more problems for our customers
- Broaden our vertical market expertise
- Diversify our service capabilities by investing in world-class training and equipment that enables our people to thrive

Become Part of Something Bigger - Our Acquisition Process
Introductions and Non-Disclosure agreement
We will talk informally to learn about you and your business. We will also answer any questions you have about BearCom. If both sides agree to take the conversation to the next level, we will enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that protects everyone’s interests. We can then freely exchange confidential information.
Preliminary Discovery
Once NDAs are in place, we can determine if our company cultures and future plans and goals will be a good fit. We will also start the discovery process to determine the value of your business and suggest a transaction structure, as well as estimate how long the transaction might take to complete.
Indication of Interest and Letter of Intent
Equipped with the results of preliminary discovery, usually within a few weeks, a specific proposal will be developed. Once a preliminary agreement is reached regarding price and terms, the next step will be a letter of intent. This letter of intent details the terms and conditions with which BearCom proposes to acquire your business.
Due Diligence and Documentation
Once the letter of intent has been signed, a formal due diligence examination of your company takes place to validate the information that formed the basis of the proposal. The due diligence process is typically completed in 60-90 days. During that time, both parties negotiate and sign a purchase agreement, along with a variety of ancillary documents to affect the transaction.
Closing and Integration
The closing is the final step in the acquisition process. The closing typically occurs within 90 days of signing the letter of intent. Closing is the contractual signing and funding of the deal. As the closing date approaches, plans will be presented to gradually integrate and transition your team into the BearCom family.
Our Recent Acquisitions
Hear From Recent Team Additions
As a 55-year old company with a very tenured employee base, it was essential that drastic change and disruption were minimized. BearCom allowed us to maintain the majority of our day-to-day operation while providing support from corporate staff who were and continue to be a tremendous help. BearCom provides positive structures, processes and procedures. In addition, BearCom's people have been awesome!
When Independence Communications became part of the BearCom team, it was an instant lift. It was a huge boost to my sales and service team that they now had access to a large network of resources which had never been available before. Equally as beneficial was the depth of talent, and wide breadth of solutions we now have available to our customers. The synergy was real, as they instantly made us better and likewise, we injected additional skillsets and experiences that made BearCom stronger.
After 30 years of operations, CommUSA was acquired by BearCom in February of 2019. Since joining the BearCom family we now have access to the best technical team in the industry and a larger product portfolio that has enabled us to better serve our customers. Additionally, we now have a network of talent to leverage throughout over 80 branch locations in North America. BearCom has a wonderful culture that aligns around our philosophy of providing best in class service to our customers and a great environment for our employees to grow and thrive. We look forward to the future and our continued growth with the best voice, video and data solutions provider in the world!
