Crate Capital

Description

Crate Capital buys, builds, and operates exceptional small businesses and holds them for the long-term. We are a unique option for business owners that care about the future of their companies and employees. Our approach differs from traditional private equity and other investors for three reasons: 1. Long-Term Perspective. We invest for the long-term with no intention of flipping your business to the highest bidder in 3-5 years. Instead, we preserve and build on your legacy by investing in people and growth. We retain every single employee, your brand remains intact, and the core of how the business operates does not change. 2. Proven Operators. We understand small businesses and have years of hands-on experience operating and leading them. We are able to assume day-to-day operations, allowing a seller to transition their responsibilities quickly, if they choose, and providing the business with added energy, perspective, and resources. 3. Deal Certainty, Speed, and Professionalism. Our committed investor group ensures that we have the funds to close and our experience as private equity investors and advisors allows us to run an efficient deal process with no unexpected surprises and unnecessary distractions.
