Empowering Opportunity
We invest in entrepreneurial people that are looking to capitalize on business opportunity.
We use a very simple business approach: Bet on a person.
Help them grow a profitable business. Be a partner for life.
Our team has an extensive history of working together successfully and a shared commitment and interest in helping to actively support businesses and teams to reach their full potential. We have decades of experience partnering with individuals on business acquisition, working with them as owners in need of a sustainable path to profitability and/or assisting family businesses lacking a succession plan and looking to preserve a legacy. Our focus is on B2B, Commercially-Oriented and Services Businesses.
The team members' past transactions (over 84 collectively since 1988) have included the following industry experience: Industrial, Construction, Manufacturing, Technology, Service, Medical/Healthcare, Financial Services and Management Consulting. We are firmly rooted in proven practices and decades of experience as both investors and operators.
We prefer opportunities that we can buy and hold for the long term.
