OUR APPROACH

Boat on Lake

LONG TERM FOCUS

Great companies last beyond their founders. We focus on honoring, preserving and enhancing your legacy. We are focused on long-term, sustainable growth, and will pursue this goal with unrelenting vigor and effort.

INVESTMENT CAPITAL

We are backed by private investors with sufficient available capital to provide sellers with liquidity at closing. Our team has capital ready to invest in the right opportunity and is committed to closing the transaction as quickly as possible, generally within 60 to 90 days.

EMPLOYEE FOCUS

We appreciate the strong employee ties that exist when a business has been in a family for generations or when a company has been nurtured by its founder. We believe that employees are a company’s most valued asset, and that maintaining strong relationships with existing management teams is critical for long-term success.

HIGH STANDARDS

We conduct all transactions with an intense focus on integrity, professionalism and confidentiality. We understand the concerns of privately-held and family-owned business owners. Our management team will ensure the owner experiences a smooth transition and leaves the transaction satisfied with all aspects of the deal.

FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE

We work in partnership with sellers to structure transactions that best meet the seller’s ambitions, lifestyle and estate planning needs. We are open to owners retaining an ongoing equity stake and our continuing involvement with the company.​​

QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Our operating team brings management and financial experience along with sound, tested leadership skills. The management team will be actively running the business’s day-to-day operations and has a vested interest in the company’s success.
