SIG was formed to support entrepreneurs
that aspire to acquire, own and build great companies
The problem with going it alone:
Risk while searching
Searching for a business to acquire is far from an easy undertaking - 1/3 search funds close down without ever acquiring a business
Post-acquisition risk
Acquiring and owning a small business is also fraught with risk - 1/2 of search funds that acquire businesses either lose all their original capital or do not provide an adequate return
Loss of ownership and control
Traditional search fund CEOs are more employees than owners - they give up control to investors and only receive 22% equity ownership on average
The benefits of partnership are significant:
Demonstrated benefits
There is reason to be hopeful - search funds that have partners are 3.4x as likely to return over 5x the original invested capital!
Effective partners
Think of SIG like a highly experienced partner in your search for a business - SIG provides M&A, capital raising, due diligence, and other support
Ownership + Control
Entrepreneurs that partner with SIG become true owners - they can expect to retain full control of their acquisition and up to 80% equity ownership
