We actively pursue a broad range of businesses within the small business market. Our interests span high growth potential companies, family-owned and owner-managed businesses, small divisions of corporations, and other closely-held companies seeking a capable financial and strategic partner.
We are most interested in investing in businesses with a spark — promising brands, passionate managers, longstanding customers — and where there is alignment of incentives, values and vision between all the stakeholders. We will also seriously look at underperformers, turnarounds and special situations where the company has a strong market position or franchise value.

- General
- Established businesses
- Exceptional management
- Preferred Financial Profile
- Revenues of $3–$30 million
- Positive cash flow
- Significant growth potential
- Geography
