Build and hold strategy to help companies become market leaders

 

Kroll Capital works with company owners, management teams and investors to apply its investment strategy that targets growth companies while seeking to manage downside risk. We are Midwestern in style and believe that success is built on collaboration with a company’s long term customers, employees and related stakeholders.

 

We are focused on investment opportunities that include some of the following fundamental characteristics which minimize downside risk and lead to higher exit valuations.

• Proven demand for the product/service

• Products/services with high switching costs

• Branded or proprietary products/services

• Markets with growth opportunities 

• Recurring revenue 

• Diversified customer base

We are creative with our transactions, ranging from senior debt to common equity, and various structures that fall between the two. Every transaction is unique, and a creative approach is often necessary to meet the needs of companies, private equity sources, family offices and financial institutions. As an investor, we have a wide network of financial partners. This gives us the ability to finance a broad range of investments with different sizes and structures.

 

Our investment activity has focused on highly engineered manufacturing, value added distribution and business services in a broad range of industries.

• Automotive

For platform investments, we seek to invest in companies with the following attributes.

•    Revenues from $5 to $150 million
•    A minimum EBITDA of $1 million 
•    Privately-owned, family-owned or multi-generational businesses
•    Businesses facing growth-related constraints with financial and managerial resources
•    Potential to achieve above-average earnings growth through revenue growth and operational improvements
•    Contiguous U.S. 
•    Company owners seeking to rollover a portion of the proceeds in the new company

We will consider smaller companies as add-on acquisitions and typically do not invest in early-stage or turnaround situations. Corporate divestitures will also be considered.
