Platform Capital seeks to leverage our unique business model where we invest our own capital and are committed to add operational value to our portfolio companies by investing in the following situations which many other financial or strategic acquirers may avoid:
Corporate or Intermediary Orphans – Smaller divisions of larger companies that have suffered from a lack of attention and resources. Additionally, companies represented by an intermediary that may not attract interest from a traditional buyer pool.
Companies with Customer Concentration – Companies where other potential acquirers may shy away from investing due to concentration with one customer or a single, non-desirous customer type. As long as we believe that a company is marketing a compelling product or maintains a specific market niche, we are interested investors.
Out-of-Favor Industries – Many investors avoid some industries due to timing in an economic cycle, headline risk or unfavorable industry dynamics. Again, as long as we believe that a company is marketing a compelling product or maintains a specific market niche, we are interested investors.
Companies with Unique Environmental, Union or Other Problems – Platform Capital is very experienced with investing in situations where a company is suffering from unfavorable union dynamics, environmental concerns or other unique issues. If we can quantify these problems and ascertain a methodology to mitigate the risk, we are open to investing in these situations.
Secured Lender Exit Plan – Platform Capital can act as an exit plan for a secured lender working with a company through a special assets situation. Platform Capital is more than just a debt trader. We acquire debt on assets we intend to own outright for the long term versus making a margin on flipping debt instruments.
