The businesses we acquire operate in diverse markets, but share common characteristics:
- Market leadership
- Unusual and hard to replicate business models
- Opportunities to achieve channel dominance
- A history of profitability
- High returns on sales and investment
- Low fixed overhead
- Identifiable opportunities for growth
- Management teams interested in partnering with Cortec Group
We are also interested in investing in successful companies undergoing management transition, that may be overleveraged or require growth equity.
We are not interested in retail stores, fashion products, software or capital intensive companies or manufacturers of commodity products.
Cortec Group actively seeks add-on acquisitions for the companies we own. These transactions are typically smaller than our stand-alone investments and are often sourced directly by Cortec transaction professionals working with management.
