We seek growing, highly profitable, market-leading businesses led by entrepreneurs, founders, and families who want to reinvest materially alongside Cortec.

Transaction Dynamics

We strongly prefer control investments, yet we seek owners who want to reinvest materially alongside of us

We have been the first institutional investor in the vast majority of our platform investments, although we acquire businesses from all types of sellers

We use debt conservatively; our prudent approach allows greater flexibility to invest for growth and manage through economic cycles or unforeseen disruptions

We are comfortable with incomplete management teams and owner / senior leadership transitions

We work with management to identify new market opportunities and add-on acquisitions prior to closing, so we can execute on them promptly post-investment
