We offer several advantages to sellers that simplify the selling process and ensure a successful exit for owners.

SIMPLER DECISION-MAKING
We invest our own capital in our acquisitions. We are not deal sponsors dependent on other investors’ investment decision-making processes. We are not constrained by the restrictions and time-frames of agreements with limited partners.

WE PROVIDE SENIOR MANANGEMENT
Unlike private equity firms who do not have operating management experience or resources, we are interested in situations that lack senior management, such as an owner seeking to retire, corporate divestitures or other situations in which management in not in place.

COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEES AND COMMUNITY
We invest in a business in order to create equity value by growing the business. We do not invest to consolidate businesses with other operations or other companies in our portfolio. Therefore, we offer new opportunities to the talented managers and employees who share our vision for the growth and success of the business.
