The profile of the companies we like
The heart of the lower middle market: too small for institutional funds, too complex for an individual buyer. Capable of investing in larger companies by involving our network of co-investors.
We prefer control positions where existing management or ownership teams retain a meaningful share of the equity, but remain flexible to the unique elements of each transaction.
Industrial businesses with exposure to essential end markets and applications.
Ability to accelerate growth and drive synergies through completing follow-on acquisitions.
Able to adapt to the needs of each business, whether that be an owner staying through transition, promotion of an internal successor, or bringing one of our own operating executives to support the team.
A file outside the frame is always worth a conversation.
