Investment Criteria and Structure
We review investment opportunities in companies generating cash flow in the range of $2 million to $10 million.
We look to deploy capital in a variety of situations including: leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, add-on acquisitions, growth capital investments, corporate divestitures, and public to private transactions.
Our initial equity investment size is $5 million to $15 million per transaction, however, we have made targeted equity investments below $5 million
We focus on causing as little disruption in the target company as possible during transaction execution and are committed to completing transactions on a timely basis.
We often encourage the sellers to hold key positions or meaningful equity stakes post-transaction.
