We invest in companies across the US. If your firm has a track record of generating between $2M-$15M of EBITDA in the last five years, we would like to learn more about your plans and goals.
We have worked with firms in a variety of situations: family businesses, management buyouts, secondary buyouts, corporate carve-outs/divestitures.
We work with owners and management teams to find solutions to problems allowing smooth transitions. As former operators, we understand that business can take twists and turns. We are interested in both healthy cash-flowing businesses, as well as distressed firms that have had strong results in the past, but are currently encountering liquidity challenges, despite strong fundamentals. We can structure outcomes for rapid liquidity events and respond to special situations that require quick action.
