We focus on acquiring lower middle market companies with significant growth opportunities, harvest those opportunities over a 3 to 10 year timeframe, and then be in a position to sell them if we so desire.
1. At Acquisition
| » |
Maybe little historical growth or suboptimal profitability, often due to "under-management." Frequently little or no sales force and/or growth strategy. |
| » |
Industry sector/size limit active, credible buyers like SJ Partners, LLC. |
| » |
Take advantage of active relationships with lenders to optimally capitalize company. |
| » |
Fragmented industry. |
| » |
Recurring revenue. |
2. After Acquisition
| » |
Grow, grow, grow through aggressive sales and marketing strategy. |
| » |
Leverage management skills, resources, and relationships of SJP's operating partners who have successfully run divisions and/or companies of up to $300 million in revenue. |
| » |
Exploit the industry understanding and relationships of SJP's management and its affiliate, market research company The NPD Group, Inc. |
|
|
3. At Potential Exit
| » |
Have company with 3+ year track record of solid revenue and cash flow growth. |
| » |
No longer be a lower middle market company but rather a larger entity that could attract a wider variety of potential buyers for a premium valuation. |
| » |
Sell only when exit attractive. No institutional need to sell within any given timeframe. |
