Why do prospects want to do business with the firm?
Integrity – We do what we promise to do. We make our current and past CEOs available as references for our ethics and our effectiveness. Potential partners get very candid views on how we behave and what we are like as partners, prior to teaming up with us.
Reliability & Certainty – Boyne’s is often the most experienced and “institutional” investor option and the lower end of the middle market, enabling a quicker, more predictable timeline to closing. This is enabled by Boyne’s i) experience (over 80 executed transactions), ii) scaled team, and iii) committed capital base of approximately $250 million out of our current fund.
Greater Long-Term Wealth – As a result of Boyne’s i) unique operations team resources and ii) ability to source, execute and integrate add-on acquisitions, we believe we generate superior value- creation outcomes relative to our peer group. Because we are partnering with our founders/entrepreneurs who are also going-forward shareholders alongside us, they benefit from this higher “second bite at the apple”.
Flexibility – Boyne is willing to tailor our investments to our partners’ objectives, and also to participate in complex situations that other equity sponsors might typically dismiss as too time consuming, complex, or where perfect information may not be available. Boyne has the transaction and operational resources to digest complex industry and/or company dynamics and drive to a closing.
Why do intermediaries present opportunities and want to conduct transactions with the firm?
