Why partner with us?
Unlike private equity and venture capital firms, we want to buy and retain companies indefinitely. That’s right; we don’t sell businesses. We form a strategic alliance with the existing management team. We recognize the dedication and perseverance required to create a firm and place a premium on the company’s, customers’ and workers’ well-being over short-term goals.
We consider our company to be an extension of ourselves, and we take great satisfaction in delivering excellent service to our customers as well as possibilities and a positive work environment for our staff.
