Get In Touch
Our approach is hands-on, flexible, and built for the long term. We see ourselves as partners to Management.
We understand the complexities of running a private business.
We invest our own capital, giving us the freedom to make decisions that prioritize long term capital appreciation.
We will always deliver the bad news first and we appreciate open and honest communication.
We get excited about entrepreneurial companies that are run by great people. Business metrics are important; we value integrity above all else as it is at the core of every good business transaction.
We are focused on Return on Equity and Return on Invested Capital; additionally, we are still of the old-school belief that a business is worth the present value of its future cash flows at a reasonable discount rate.
We prefer businesses that generate high returns on equity and do not require significant debt to achieve these returns.
Alder Bay is not a fund of pooled investor capital. As such, we do not have a requirement to return capital to investors through the resale of the businesses we acquire.
We like to work with our fellow owners and Management teams on businesses that we can help grow steadily for the long-term.
We believe in Win:Win situations.
We believe that you can’t make a good deal with bad people.
We like situations where our incentives are aligned with our fellow owners.
We understand that confidentiality is critical and we take confidentiality seriously.
Unplanned word of a potential sale among employees, customers or suppliers can create undue uncertainty about a company’s future.
We have no requirement for acquisition press releases or other unnecessary public displays.
At Alder Bay Equity Partners, we collaborate with business owners to navigate succession and growth, providing permanent capital and strategic support to ensure lasting success.
