Investment Approach
Blackford Capital invests in middle-market manufacturing, distribution, and service companies in both mature and growing industries. The firm is particularly interested in investment opportunities where the management team will remain with the company, but Blackford Capital also appreciates investment opportunities where existing management teams are retiring or where key executives need to be added. We generally look for opportunities that can satisfy a majority of the following criteria:
| Sales: |
$20 million – $100 million |
| |
|
| EBITDA: |
$2 million – $20 million |
| |
|
| Industries: |
Low-tech manufacturing/distribution and service companies with industrial/business customer base in mature and growing industries |
| |
|
| Management: |
Prefer management teams that are looking to grow business, but will consider opportunities where owner/operator is seeking to retire or exit |
| |
|
| Profitability: |
Proven profitability for last three years with future expectations of positive, stable cash flows is preferred, but not required |
