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 privately held 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 help manage day-to-day operations during a transition period 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, profitable businesses with between $250,000 and $3,000,000 in EBITDA, and that operate in mature industries. We are flexible in how we structure deals though, so if your business doesn’t fit these criteria exactly, our team would still be very excited to have a conversation with you.
