Maybe contact a company that sells companies due to many reasons and pick up one that you keep a person or two from the old one and use them as a manager / key employee til you are ready to merge in but you would need to purchase the company if someone is trying to get out you might find one for 100k or less and you should be looking at borrowing personally any money you need since you won't have the 1 to 2 years of ownership under your belt.
