Auctus is uniquely positioned to create game-changing opportunities for investors and businesses alike. Because we can anticipate opportunities as well as barriers to success, we acquire or finance only those small to lower middle market companies that can yield immediate results.
We recognize many investment opportunities are driven by an owner’s desire for liquidity, corporate restructuring, and generational turnover. As such, we know that human capital is the most valuable piece of every equation. Most entrepreneurs and management have invested years of their lives building their businesses and take pride in their achievements. This is why we work closely with sellers to structure a deal that enables all stakeholders to achieve their personal goals while allowing the company and its employees to move forward in the most powerful and positive way.
We source capital on a deal-by-deal basis. Our network includes high net worth individuals, family offices, equity funds, debt funds, mezzanine debt funds and hedge funds that are aligned with our investment strategy. They choose to work with us because we offer control over deal selection, minimal risk of delayed liquidity, lower fees and more transparency over blind pool funds.
Since we focus on transformational value creation, we seek growth-oriented businesses to finance or acquire. The fundamentals are critically important to us. Companies with key industry differentiators, valuable IP, and deep customer relationships are most attractive. Our selection is based on our ability to improve the quality of the business with a strategy that creates value through organic growth, operational enhancements, and key acquisitions where appropriate.
