01

Research & Identify

Our growing market-share through acquisitions (ownership), and strengthened relationships with brokers and investment bankers gives us access to data, both on- and off-market opportunities, and insights into competitor activity. An even greater advantage we have is our direct experience of ownership within our target markets which provides us with real-time data enabling us to continuously assess marketplace climate at a local and national level giving us otherwise unknown insight to underlying drivers of supply and demand volatility in these markets.

Analyze

Our team of analysts have decades of career experience underwriting and valuing institutional credit and small businesses. Each deal we pursue undergoes a multi-stage process of objective, qualitative, and quantitive analysis which allows us to determine whether or not submitting an LOI is the next appropriate step. Only after passing the preliminary vetting do we submit an IOI/LOI. Upon acceptance of IOI/LOI we enter into a formal Due Diligence (DD) period where the deal undergoes a rigorous analysis (QoE) – a deep vetting of the business’s and owner’s financial history, history of employee-ship, inspections, appraisals, and much more all occur. This ‘fine-tooth comb’ DD process allows us to ensure every aspect of the deal aligns with our quality standards of businesses we acquire.

Capital Event & Reinvest

Capital events are contingent on, but not limited to, four main variables and are used as the framework when determining the exit strategies of any given asset class:

· Cash Flows & Market Demand
· Quality/Quantity of Debt & Equity
· Operational Efficiency
· Emerging Opportunities: i.e., shifts in market climate (demand of asset), 1031 exchange opportunities, etc.

A capital event may involve a complete sale of the asset or a refinance. In all cases, our priority is to ensure full repayment of investor capital and to meet or exceed projected returns upon completion of the event.
