INVESTMENT APPROACH

We typically acquire 100% of the company's assets. We are open to other minority investors (including seller's equity) with a clear path to buyout.

  • We take a very long term perspective on growing value. Most of our acquisitions are "permanent" holdings, with no plans for sale in the near or medium term.

  • We seek to preserve the legacy and strengths of acquired businesses while being transparent with the seller, management, and employees of the business regarding our plans post-close.

  • We add value through new capital, technology, industry relationships, and process improvements. We also pursue add-on acquisitions to develop more mature organizations with increasing value to the marketplace.

  • We strive to be fair to all parties involved in a transaction.

DIFFERENTIATORS

Our capital is supplied by a single source, which provides us with certain differentiators.

​

  • Flexible as it relates to time horizon and deal structure.

    • We prefer and assume a long-term holding period for our acquisitions but are also opportunistic with our exits.

    • We work with the seller to negotiate seller financing, bank financing, buyout structures, etc., suitable to the deal.

  • Ability to act quickly and always with discretion. We have few operational bottlenecks to getting a deal done quickly.

  • Our diverse operational experience in manufacturing, transportation, global business, health care, and IT provide an advantage over other financial buyers in increasing the value of our portfolio companies.

INVESTMENT CRITERIA

We are seeking to acquire stable, profitable businesses with the following characteristics:

​

  • EBITDA $500k to $3M

  • Revenues $2M to $15M

  • Strong management team

  • Great reputation

  • Established senior executive in place (or one can be identified before closing)

  • No specific industry focus, but manufacturing, business services, and Industrial, are of interest.
