Western Ridge is not your typical buyout fund or strategic acquirer. We’re looking for a single business and will devote all of our effort to its long-term success.
We differ in some of the following ways:
PRIVATE EQUITY FUNDS | COMPETITORS | ||
YOUR COMPANY | 100% of our effort and attention | One piece of a large portfolio | One piece of a larger whole |
DAY JOB | Growing your business after the sale | Finding another deal and exiting from past acquisitions | Steering the mothership |
SOURCE OF CAPITAL | Successful entrepreneurs, executives and investors | Institutions, endowments, pension funds | Public and/or private investors, cash flow |
GOALS | Grow top line, improve operations, don’t fix what isn’t broken | Cut costs, add leverage, flip company | Absorb your operations |
TIME HORIZON | Long-term | 3-5 years | Varies, at the King’s pleasure |
