We like businesses where competitiveness is driven primarily by world-class execution of the basics: sound strategy, leading cost position, superior customer service We do not have strict industry requirements, but prefer very traditional businesses with limited technology risk. Categories of particular appeal include niche manufacturing, value-added distribution, specialty financial services, and business-to-business services. Owner/Operator Exit Plan We actively operate the companies we acquire, thus presenting owners with options to exit the business rapidly, if so desired. Flexibility Yet, we are flexible in accommodating an owner's interest, and welcome ongoing involvement with operations following closing, if desired. Owner Economics Estate planning, tax considerations, and the ongoing participation interest of business owners are key elements of our transaction structures. We build on the company's strengths, and seek to maintain and enhance the business's role and standing in the community. Copyright 2004 Sage River Partners, LLC. All rights reserved.
