Business owners
It starts with people. We have deep respect for entrepreneurs and the role they play in our communities. We look forward to getting to know you more.
1
Integrity
We promise to say what we mean and mean what we say, and we look to work with people who have the same honest, Midwestern values
2
Flexibility
Since our investment capital is contributed by our other businesses, we are able to craft a deal and transition custom for each individual seller (e.g., level of owner involvement post close, deal structure, investment horizon)
3
Respect
As entrepreneurs ourselves, we know how hard it is to grow a healthy, successful business. We bring that same respect to every aspect of the deal process and our relationship together thereafter
4
Right sized
This is not our first deal, but it's also not our 100th financially engineered transaction. As we have conversations, you'll get our focus
5
A small business is more than just a financial statement, it's a community of people. We will help preserve your legacy as we continue to work with your people
