STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS

We carefully select our portfolio companies to focus on B2B distribution and manufacturing businesses that are established, profitable, and have significant upside potential. We conduct extensive due diligence and all of our investments must meet the following criteria:

  • Long held, often family run B2B (typically 20-50 years)
  • Established client base
  • Positive cash flow
  • Facing a challenge that requires a sale, often one of the 4 D’s: Dispute, Death, Disability or Divorce
  • Identification of flaws in strategy execution or poor management by pre-acquisition team
  • Scalable – Long Term Viability
  • Dividend and free cash flow focused to drive moderate investor returns
  • Opportunity to benefit from our value-added expertise and services
