In addition, the absence of Limited Partners and tedious quarterly Limited Partner conferences permits us a uniquely long transformation or investment horizon and the flexibility and speed to take on transactions traditional firms cannot. We approach each potential transformation or acquisition as more akin to the adoption of a new family member than as a takeover. We pride ourselves on delivering benefits to all stakeholders and providing a good corporate home for our transformations or acquisitions.

Though admittedly, we have our softer side, we are all business when it comes to transactions. Our Rapid Deal Process™ permits us to close transactions faster than anyone else, reducing any losses to a deteriorating asset and with a minimum of disruption to the unit involved.

Using our proprietary Carve-Outsourcing™ model we provide an attractive alternative to outsourcing or offshoring units that have become burdensome cost centers within larger organizations. By structuring outsourcing as an acquisition, we can often provide firms with a cash payment for the unit as well as save firms substantial unit closing costs, allow them to retain at least the same level of service and reduce costs while maintaining the continuity their customers expect along with the corporate goodwill they have worked for years to build among their employees, the community and shareholders.
