Focused on delivering fast and flexible exits for sellers in the critical communications space
Why partner with us
There are many acquirers out there.
We think our approach makes us different from the competition.
We are hands-on owners and look to grow businesses the old-fashioned way. We have no interest in driving short term returns through “restructuring” or financial engineering. We know it takes time to build strong and thriving companies. Our perpetual investment horizon allows us to think in decades rather than years.
A sale to our group represents a natural exit for sellers looking for a straight forward private sale that achieves their transition goals while ensuring continuity to customers, employees and the community. We see ourselves as an attractive buyer, not just in terms of financial value, but also thanks to our our ability to complete investments in short time frames and to provide fast, transparent decisions.
If you are a business owner in the critical communications space, get in touch with a short description of the business and tell us the sort of transaction you are seeking, we can tell you immediately whether we have an interest.
If we do, we can proceed instantly.
Keeping things simple
We want to focus on what is important, therefore we keep diligence limited to the key areas. We stick to established deal structures and practices that have worked for us in the past.
We are a small team which means sellers will be dealing with us directly, we don’t let external consultants complicate the process on our side.
We like to get things done quickly, if we see rationale for an acquisition we make sure we keep up the pace to complete the process swiftly.
Responsible and sustainable profit growth
We have seen first hand how the private equity playbook can wreck good businesses.
Pursuing short term returns driven by leverage, arbitrary cost cutting, underinvestment and reckless acquisition sprees destroys value for everyone in the long run. It is a story we are all familiar with.
The most successful businesses, those which are sustainable for decades rather than years, are able to provide products and services at fair prices which their customers can’t do without.
This is GVCP’s central goal for all of its businesses and to achieve it we believe in giving accountability to those who understand the team, the product offering and the customers the best.
Buying to hold forever
We strive to be a great permanent home for companies that join us. As perpetual owners, we care about our employees and customers of our businesses. We are here for the long haul after all.
Our long-term investment horizon means that we can take a responsible approach when it comes to questions of founder legacy, investment cycle and building up the business for the future.
