Process

We do not manage any outside capital. We are a holding firm not an investment or equity firm. This enables us to hold our investments for the very long term, which allows our companies to optimize their growth and success.

We work with each of our companies to provide necessary funds for capital expenditures. We also make sure we have the necessary human resources capital to realize long term growth and opportunity for our personnel.

Bonnett Partners understands what goes into building and running a successful business. Our experience buying and running small to medium sized businesses allows us to identify what’s important to you in the sale of your business, and we work with you to structure a mutually beneficial transaction structure.

We anticipate and address potential issues early, enabling a smooth sale process. We are committed to closing a transaction as quickly as possible

Approach

Bonnett Partners’ operational experience provides owner-operators with a range of options regarding their involvement post-sale. These options range from transitioning out of day-to-day operations in as little as 30 days after closing becoming a long-term partner and continuing to manage operations post-closing. We work with you to meet your goals for post-sale involvement. We can bring day-to-day management, industry experience, capital, and a board of directors dedicated to the ongoing success of your business.  Our flexibility and industry experience provides a unique opportunity to provide business owners with liquidity, to meet their overall goals for a transition, and to create long-term opportunities for their employees.

Businesses Characteristics We Look For:

– Owner looking to retire, exit, with liquidity event
– Recurring or repeating revenue streams
– Diverse customer base
– Minnesota-based
– Leading position or skill sets in a growing industry
– History of Strong Cash Flow
