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.
