Bison Capital makes growth equity
investments in fundamentally strong middle-market
companies, public or private, for expansion, acquisitions
or recapitalizations.
Our investment approach involves
the flexibility to invest in both the equity and debt
securities of a company in order to meet its capital
needs while enabling existing managers to retain significant
equity ownership going forward. Our ability to
invest on a non-control basis provides our management
partners with the freedom to execute their business
plans and capture substantial equity appreciation created
after our investment.
As a flexible and value-added partner,
Bison Capital provides a full spectrum of financial,
strategic and operating resources. The Principals
of Bison Capital have broad experience in investing
capital at all levels of the capital structure and
have played significant roles in creating equity value
for both management teams and institutional shareholders.
A key element of each investment is the
creation of a partnership between Bison Capital and a
company’s management team. We prefer investment
structures that enable key operators to remain significant
equity holders in the company. Bison Capital’s
goal is to align itself with talented and highly-motivated
individuals with strong operating backgrounds.
Bison Capital complements a management
team’s capabilities by contributing other resources,
such as a deep understanding of the capital markets and
sound strategic insight. We endeavor to deliver
a capital solution which allows management to concentrate
on realizing its strategic and operational objectives
for the business, without placing undue strain on the
company. This solution should provide sufficient flexibility
for future growth and potential acquisitions, without
overextending the company’s balance sheet. Bison
Capital helps companies achieve their goals by providing
strategic and financial assistance and through access
to our extensive network of capital partners and operating
executives. We strive to be valuable partners who contribute
greatly towards our shared goal of achieving long-term
growth in equity value.
