A Better Way to Exit
Rockpoint Capital provides business owners with liquidty and a dedicated, flexible succession plan that is different from traditional strategic or private equity buyers.
We Differentiate Ourselves From Traditional Exit Opportunities:
 | Private Equity | Strategic Buyer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role of Owner | Flexible; board, consulting, reduced role, etc. | Dictated by acquirer; often intense commitment or forced departure | Often insignificant |
| Investment Horizon | Long-term | Typically 3 – 5 years | Varies |
| Focus | Long-term growth | Pure returns through financial engineering and aggressive cost cutting | The parent company and your business is secondary |
| Deal Terms | Flexible based on needs of seller | Rigid with high leverage | Stock and/or cash |
| Importance to Acquirer | Sole investment | One of many portfolio companies | One of many divisions |
| Governance | Focused Management and world class Board | Investors with limited operational experience | Layers of management and bureaucracy above |
| Company Legacy | Preserved and grown | Uncertain | Likely eliminated |
