Investment Criteria We partner
with specialty food entrepreneurs to help grow their niche
businesses into niche leaders. We typically work with
companies that have $1-$10+ million in annual revenue and expect that
management will continue to lead the business after our investment.
We do not consider turnaround situations or traditional early stage
financings of start-ups. In addition to these parameters, we
look for the following characteristics in our portfolio companies:
-
Positive EBITDA with high EBITDA margins
-
Established operating history of growth and
profitability
-
Sustainable competitive advantage
-
Recurring revenues
-
Low customer concentration
-
Clear opportunities for value creation
-
Fair valuation
-
Management capable of growing with business size
and complexity
One of our most important criteria is that we
partner with entrepreneurs who are also looking for a liquidity
event. This event may come in many forms — a management
buyback, an investment from another financial institution or a
strategic sale — but we target an exit from our investment in 3-5
years. As a result, we seek entrepreneurs whose vision for
their company fits that timeframe. |
