A hands-on operating company for the next chapter.
Anchor USA is an operator-led acquisition company focused on acquiring and improving established businesses. Led by Shannon Burgess, the company takes a practical approach to evaluating opportunities, supporting transitions, and building stronger operating systems.
An operational foundation
Anchor USA’s operating background includes B2B distribution, systems integration, customer-account management, procurement, fulfillment, vendor coordination, financial administration, and day-to-day business operations. That experience informs a disciplined approach to acquiring and operating additional companies.
We are buyers who have run the daily details of a business ourselves: sales, accounts receivable and payable, vendor relationships, and expense management. It shapes how we evaluate a company and how we operate one.
