Our Approach
Our goal is to build each of our businesses by focusing on long term capital appreciation, creating significant equity value for all stakeholders in the operating companies we acquire. Our platform companies will have significant opportunities for growth of the top and bottom lines however:
Need capital and or expertise to achieve the next level of growth. Are underachieving their current potential and are in need of expertise, management and or leadership to get to the next level. Are overleveraged and are in need of capital to fix the balance sheet.
Are being spun out by a larger entity. Are going through a generational transfer which may be driving liquidity needs, leadership needs, etc...
Our objective is to acquire control Positions between 51% - 80%. We want owners and the management team to have significant stakes in the success of the company. Existing owners will be encouraged/required to retain a significant ownership stake in the business via retained equity rather than an earn out structure.
Contrary to the approach taken by most private equity funds, we will bring sophisticated management expertise, long term capital and a significant commitment of management time to help build the foundation of an acquired business before undertaking an aggressive growth program.
Leverage will be maintained at conservative levels. Debt is a good way to increase IRR metrics, but is also a good way to increase risk. Since we are investing mostly our own money, we are balanced in our desire to drive returns and limit risk.
