We Invest "Smart Money"
Generally, our investment capital comes from high-net-worth individuals who have been deeply involved in building entrepreneurial enterprises. They have been successful owners, managers, entrepreneurs and advisors helping companies grow. They understand both the operating challenges of running a smaller organization, as well as the longer-term benefits of unlocking an organization's organic growth potential.
Now they are investors too, but we like to think they're "smart money." They understand the challenges because they have faced them first hand. The management team of a Danville Partners portfolio company is among colleagues who know the ups and the downs, the excitement, the pride and sometimes the frustration and challenges of crafting an enterprise. We've been down this road before. We stay the course.
We Customize Financing Solutions to Meet Each Situation
Our financial flexibility and experience allow us to craft unique financial solutions customized to suit the needs of each company. Most of us have managed in highly leveraged situations and know what that can do for a business and its investors, both good and bad. While we tend to be somewhat conservative in our approach to funding and take a relatively long view, we understand the value of financial leverage and have preferential access to capital sources.
We Build Partnerships
Typically we seek to acquire controlling interest in the companies in which we invest, partnering with management and the current owners. Depending on the situation and the terms, we will also consider investments in which we are not the majority owner.
