Private Equity Investments
Greenleigh Group is a private equity investments company firm that acquires, manages, and grows small to middle-market business services, consumer services, and healthcare service companies in the South East. Our strategic objective is to partner with business owners and create significant value in companies in need of new capital and new ownership structures while modernizing technology to compete in the age of artificial intelligence.
What makes our leadership team unique? It's not just a proven track record of helping organizations solve complex business problems. It's a our dedication to serving clients, developing teams, and nurturing a culture that puts our people and our communities at the center. Greenleigh is guided by operating principles that guarantee our customers, employees, and companies high quality results.
We are long-term investors who believe that business success is based on character, discipline, and experience. We care about the customers, the employees, and the communities of the firms we acquire, and we work hard to protect their interests throughout the acquisition process. We believe these qualities make Greenleigh Group offer an attractive means to maximize the value of your business.
In searching for acquisition candidates, Greenleigh Group relies heavily on investment bankers, business brokers, accountants, lenders, and attorneys to help us find good investment opportunities. We enjoy positive and mutually rewarding relationships with these intermediaries, and we work hard to be considerate, confidential, and responsive. Our staff is committed to providing immediate responses to calls and correspondence as well as fast, frank indications of interest.
After a preliminary conversation with management, we visit the company and view operations first hand. Next, we present prospective investments to our partners for consideration and discussion of critical issues. We endeavor to offer a preliminary expression of interest quickly. Our investment team then conducts a broad array of due diligence, including conducting market research; assessing business and market conditions, management, products, competition, customers and vendors; developing financial models; and benchmarking performance against industry peers.
Greenleigh Group's evaluation of an acquisition candidate is on a strictly confidential basis and takes into account issues such as employee welfare and an owner’s tax planning.
We then negotiate investment terms, develop a financial and ownership structure, contact potential lenders (if needed), and submit a letter of intent. After mutually agreeing on the terms of the transaction, the final step is documentation and funding of the transaction.
After the transaction is complete, Greenleigh Group works to smoothly transition the existing owner out of the business with minimal disruptions for customers, employees, and suppliers. Greenleigh Groups' management team oversees the day-to-day operations of the business, and members of the investor team actively participate on the Board of Directors or as formal advisors to the company.
While the universe of investment opportunities continually evolves, our investment criteria are highly consistent. We seek high quality companies led by motivated and skilled executives who want to own as well as run their businesses. We have successfully executed this strategy in several sectors including broadband services, data centers, healthcare services, education, motion picture production and video gaming, among others. However, regardless of the end market being served, our portfolio companies exhibit certain specific characteristics:
We respond promptly, and with complete confidentiality to all inquiries regarding potential acquisitions that fit our parameters, whether the companies are “officially” for sale or not. If appropriate, we pay a finders fee upon completion of a transaction. If you have or know of a company that might be of interest, we look forward to hearing from you.
