From one business owner to another, let's ensure your business is treated with the respect it deserves.
As former business owners, we’ve experienced the challenges of selling to private equity or a competitor. These include disruptions to your business, people and community, and limitations to your role.
We don't believe in quick exits or short-term profits. We believe in sustainable growth for the long-term. Where private equity sees numbers, we see stories and the people behind them. We want to honor and continue your story, not rewrite it.
Our Values.
01
Founders First.
Selling your business is emotional and personal. We invest time in getting to know you and your personal aspirations. We prioritize our relationship with you and ensure your personal, economic, and professional goals.
02
Preserving Roots.
The best companies are founded on strong roots. We focus not on short-term profits but the essence of what sets your company apart. We believe in preserving your founding vision, people, and community and nurturing it for the long-term.
03
Empower Businesses.
We share our vast networks and experience leveraging technology to scale your audience and grow your impact.
Our Difference.
Presidio Park | Private Equity | Strategic Buyer | |
|---|---|---|---|
Time Horizon | Long-term | Typically 3-5 year exit goal | Solely based on needs of parent company |
Owner Transition & Role | Flexible and tailored to owner’s needs | Expectation for owners to stay on for a period of time and “earnout” a portion of purchase price | Limited to the needs of parent company |
Impact to Employees | Retained and viewed as mission critical to sustained growth | Cost cutting and financial engineering | Downsizing and/or elimination of redundant roles |
Founder Payout | Full-sale or partial sale with opportunities to participate in upside growth | Limited upside opportunities contingent on owners staying onboard in full capacity | Usually limited to full sales with capped upside |
Partner Goals | Create long-term value and drive sustainable growth through building on strong foundations | Maximize returns through cost-cutting and financial leverage | Absorb operations and realize synergies |
