City Different Acquisitions
Small Business Acquisitions
Objective
Overview
City Different Acquisitions is a strategy in which we will raise capital on a deal-by-deal basis, and invest directly into small and medium sized businesses to provide growth equity or a personal liquidity event to an owner-operator. We are looking for business owners who will continue to maintain an equity stake and manage day-to-day operations post transaction. We are different from a traditional private equity fund in that we plan to establish long-term partnerships with owner–operators rather than buying and flipping a business over the course of a designated hold period. We target established businesses with less than $3M in EBITDA, which is generally smaller than traditional PE funds target, creating an opportunity in which there is less competition for deals and more opportunity for us to add value at an operational level.
