Investment Criteria

How We're Different

A Twist on Traditional Private Equity

We believe heavily in the aligning of interests for all parties. We look to invest in successful companies that can benefit from our business expertise.

We primarily look for niche, wide moat companies that we feel as though we understand and can add value to. Many of these companies are in: industrial, business service, industrial service, distribution or manufacturing.

The Majority of Our Investments Fall Into One of These Categories

1. Invest in Distressed Business

When the opportunity presents itself, we will acquire an equity stake in businesses that are underperforming. These businesses may be:

In a position where they are struggling to repay their debt and remain profitable
Have a business that is suffering due to a partnership fallout.
Have a departing executive that they are struggling to replace

We Invest in Strong, Solvent Growing Companies

We look to acquire and invest in well run companies that we understand and with management teams in place. These are typically family owned businesses where the owner is looking to retire. These companies typically:

Generate $2M+ in annual EBITDA
Have a strong management team in place
Have a “moat” or differentiation factor (this can be geographic)

Industries of Focus

Transportation and logistics
Civil engineering and construction
Value added distribution
Manufacturing

Industrial services
B2B services
Rental and leasing

3. Partnerships, Special Situations and "Story" Companies

We may look to invest in companies off of our beaten trail when the opportunity presents itself. In addition, we look for synergies and to create vertical integrations by pursuing strategic partnerships with other business owners as well as “bolt-on” acquisitions.
