Criteria

Our Ideal Investment Criteria

Tenth Street Group is continually pursuing acquisitions.  In order to diversify and expand market opportunities, we are interested in acquisitions or partnerships that are mutually beneficial.

We desire profitable family owned, founder owned, or small group of operating partner US-based companies. Specifically, we are looking for companies that are simple to understand and have room for growth.

• Revenue: $5M to $25M in revenue.

• EBITDA: $1M to $10M.

• Margins: Between 20% - 40%

• Industry: Industrials, manufacturing, paper and packaging, building materials, specialty distribution, and services industries.

• Assets: We prefer businesses with assets currently on their balance sheet.

• Growth Opportunities: We are looking for deals that can scale or have growth potential that has yet to be tapped into.

• Existing Management: We prefer deals with existing management team in place that we can partner with and grow alongside.

What’s Important When We Buy a Business

• Continue to Build. What may have taken time and heart to build, should not be tampered with. It’s our belief to continue building on what made your business successful from the very beginning.

• Take Care of Your People. Partnering with and finding ways to empower and provide opportunity for your trusted employees and team is a fundamental part of our approach. In almost every deal we’ve done, management has had a significant equity stake.

• Time is of The Essence. It’s important that we protect your time. We can close anywhere between 30 and 45 days. And in most cases faster because of not needing to answer to upper decision makers like most private equity firms.

• Win - Win Deals. We know that good partnerships are created when both parties are fair and come to the table to work together and create a win-win. We don’t believe in doing business any other way. We won’t do a deal without feeling that it’s fair and equitable to everyone involved.
