"Deal Partner" Referrals

Attention private equity investors targeting attractive companies to acquire and like-minded "Deal Partner" CEO's able to profitably run and grow them.
As we have expanded our private equity firm network, we have developed relationships with several non-search-client private equity firms seeking to increase their deal flows. These firms are aware of our private equity search clients and excellent reputation for "due diligence" screening of CEO candidates for their portfolio companies. Many highly-qualified candidates whom we have recruited for our CEO search assignments or who have contacted us with their resumes, have been unsuccessful in acquiring small to mid-sized manufacturing companies to lead and grow. However most have failed due to either lack of adequate capital or insufficient knowledge of the acquisition process to "close the deal". Our goal is to provide value by "matching" appropriate top performing CEOs seeking to acquire attractive companies with like-minded "Deal Partner" investment firms who will supply the necessary capital to complete acquisitions consistent with the following investment criteria:

Common acquisition criteria of our private equity "Deal Partners".

  • Domestic technology manufacturers.
  • Continuous profitability during 3 most recent years.
  • Sales between $5M to $75M and EBIT between $1 million and $5 million.
  • Non-cyclical demand for company's products or services.
  • Strong and defensible market share with significant barriers to entry.
  • Diverse and stable customer base with no single customer accounting for more than 20% of sales.
  • Balanced risk/reward profile.

Private equity investors and potential "Deal Partner" CEOs should contact Jim Gilreath directly in complete confidence to discuss their particular situations.
