Key factors that drive our investment strategy:
Providing Flexible Junior Capital Solutions
We seek to invest mezzanine debt and equity (together “junior capital”) in companies that have attractive business models and potential for growth. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to providing long-term capital. Our approach is to tailor the junior capital solution to help meet the goals of business owners. This can range from providing mezzanine debt to acting as an acquirer of a company, and any combination in between.
Identifying and Supporting Success
Identifying and supporting successful companies and management teams is the key to what we do. Outstanding companies tend to exhibit a number of common characteristics:
- Experienced and dedicated management with an ownership stake in their company
- Differentiated products or services
- Strong and stable customer base
- Defensible market position
- History of steady and improving financial performance
Helping Companies Achieve Their Goals
Junior capital is typically used to support major corporate events, which may include:
- Completing an acquisition
- Helping a management team acquire the company they have been running
- Supporting significant growth initiatives
- Recapitalizing a company’s balance sheet with a different mix of debt and equity
- Providing liquidity to a selling shareholder
The First Capital Partners investment team has deep experience in each of these types of transactions and can develop the right solution to meet the specific need.
