Investors

Our firm helps Private Equity Groups and Strategic Acquirers find quality companies to acquire for their portfolio.  Using an established search process, we help uncover hidden businesses that your firm would not ordinarily have an opportunity to find. 

We provide high-quality investment opportunities for private capital investors at the lower end of the middle market. We work exclusively on the buy side for a select number of private equity investors and corporate clients to source and originate investment opportunities that fit their criteria on a generalist, opportunistic, and specific search basis. We source opportunities to acquire or invest in companies with revenues between $10 and $200 million.

By representing a select few clients, each with unique investment criteria, we create a sense of exclusivity and opportunity tailored to each client’s specific needs.  

Our experienced firm can execute your business development plan for a fraction of the cost of a full-time originator. As deals are closed, the cost is recovered in the closing fees, making our services a cost-effective investment.  We start by developing a sourcing strategy that aligns with your investment criteria and proceeds to acquire through traditional and non-traditional sources, analyzing the Teasers and CIMs.  Our expertise allows us to evaluate opportunities, build models, determine valuation parameters, and more, all to deliver results.

Special business development projects can now get your firm’s attention.  Internal resources combined with our deployable abilities allow you to dive deep into strategic acquisitions that were beyond your scope previously.

Business Owners

GLP helps business owners migrate the waters through private equity to total valuation.  Some businesses are ready to transition from founder/owner-managed to private equity-controlled in one easy step.  Others need the help of a firm that has a team of professionals that understand the triangular relationship between operations, finance and their ideological vision on what has made them successful.  At Green Lane Partners we have the ability to work with you through the balancing of the three angles of the triangle until you have the greatest value to your market of acquires and then find the capital source to become your partners.
