What You Should Expect from a Capital Transaction
Seeking a financial partner for your business doesn’t have to be a worrisome, time-consuming endeavor. We are committed to an investment process characterized by open two-way communication and clear expectations. Our partnership philosophy is based on structuring mutually beneficial transactions utilizing the following key principles:
Flexible Timing
We frequently develop relationships with business owners and executives before they are ready to bring in outside capital, sometimes years in advance of a financing transaction. While our approach to deal making is patient, we strive to act quickly and decisively when the time is right for a company to raise capital – whether through a minority investment or control equity stake.
Maximize Shareholder Value
We believe that bringing in the right long-term financial partner should be the beginning – not the end – of the value creation process for a company’s shareholders. We work in unison with business owners to provide the right balance of minority growth capital and initial estate planning liquidity, our primary goal being to sustain the company’s long-term appreciation in value so that shareholders can take “two bites at the apple.”
Confidentiality
Great companies have a “secret sauce” that makes them special and provides them competitive advantages. Traditional investment banking processes can undermine a company’s proprietary information protection and dilute its competitive advantages. We are committed to working efficiently and discreetly to consummate investments in a confidential manner, safeguarding the company’s commitments to its employees, customers and suppliers and preserving its advantages over competitors.
Tax-Efficient Transactions
We focus on structuring transactions to optimize after-tax proceeds available to a company and its owners. In most cases, we can implement highly efficient tax structures to achieve a company’s various financing objectives.
Respect for Company Culture
The best entrepreneurs instill a distinctive culture within their companies. As board-level partners, we value the importance of preserving and enhancing internal company cultures while strengthening the company’s identity, position and reputation within its community and industry.
