Interests:
1. We have two distinctive acquisition strategies.
- On the first is a distressed strategy, where we seek underperforming business units where reputation and timing are critical- perhaps due to Covid related pressure. We will look at all sectors with revenues between EUR 30 million and EUR 400 million; however, we will consider most sectors, and we typically seek to invest in equity between EUR 10 million and EUR 100 million.
2. Here are key highlights of the investment criteria:
- Distressed situations, operational restructuring, recovering revenues post Covid.
- Business revenues between EUR 30- EUR 400 million.
- Preferred assets on the balance sheet, profitable pre Covid.
- Buyout banks from their loans to the business & invest alongside existing shareholders, and management participation.
3. As there is generally no financing needed, we can close the transaction quickly.
4. On the second strategy, we look for stable and profitable businesses where the owners would like to exit. These businesses will have a solid management team in place which can use capital to execute a growth plan post ownership transfer.
- Here are some highlights for this acquisitions profile:
- Revenues between EUR 100 million - EUR 700 million.
- EUR 10 - EUR 200 million equity check (EUR 40 million - EUR 70 million sweet spot)
- Invest alongside existing shareholders and management participation.
