Control Equity
Windjammer seeks control equity investments in partnership with proven management teams. To streamline the closing process and simplify a company’s capital structure, we typically invest all of the subordinated debt and equity capital required to close a control equity transaction. We have a particular interest in opportunities that arise from management-led buyouts of family-owned businesses or divisions of larger companies.
Windjammer is prepared to invest in and support the long-term development of the underlying business. We apply our resources, experience, and contacts in the following areas:
Acquisitions: Through our contacts with industry executives and investment banking intermediaries, we are often able to introduce strategic add-on acquisition opportunities to our portfolio companies. We will support our portfolio companies strategic acquisitions with additional resources and capital.
Internal Growth: We support internal growth initiatives including facility expansions, workflow redesign, improved customer service initiatives, and upgrading management information systems by providing additional resources and capital.
Financing Markets: With decades of experience in the capital markets, we work with various financial institutions to ensure that each portfolio company has a flexible and optimal capital structure.
Contacts: When appropriate, Windjammer will recruit seasoned industry executives to provide additional support at the board level.
Strategic Planning: We provide guidance and feedback on key strategic issues and opportunities facing each company.
