The brokerage behind Own Your Life.
Dunross Capital Partners is a New York based commercial and business brokerage firm. Its work is simple to say and hard to do: find the right small business for a buyer, and get the acquisition closed on terms that protect the buyer.
The firm is led by Michael Crow, a licensed New York broker and a member of the IBBA (International Business Brokers Association). Over 40 years, Michael has bought, built, and financed companies across real estate, home services, manufacturing, and financial services — as a principal, he has acquired 29 businesses, including building National Investment Managers from 4 employees to more than 800 through 25 acquisitions before a private-equity exit, and assembling and exiting a $600M+ apartment portfolio.
Dunross is also where Michael's teaching becomes a transaction. His book, Own Your Life: Your Second Act Guide to Owning a Business (December 10, 2026), the free Owner's Equity newsletter, the Owners Room community, and the Owners Table cohort all prepare buyers to make the ownership decision well. Dunross is the licensed firm that then does the finding, the diligence support, and the closing.
Alongside brokerage, Dunross arranges debt and structured capital for business and commercial real estate acquisitions, working with a small set of institutional lenders.
Michael is a graduate of Harvard Business School's OPM program, a former CPA, and a member of YPO Gold Metro, the Harvard Club of New York, and the NMHC. He lives in East Hampton, New York.
