Our Philosophy

Prior to investing, Marshall Capital works with existing management to evaluate the potential to increase profits and add value. Our professionals bring comprehensive analytical resources, planning and operating skills, and deal-structuring proficiency to this process. Our unique management-focused approach enables us to streamline operating and financial due diligence for quicker turnaround and more timely responses to proposals.

Individual circumstances dictate whether we simply provide capital to fuel growth or take a more active role in an operation. Marshall Capital adopts a hands-off philosophy when effective management is in place, but we have the experience and resources to contribute ongoing counsel and practical assistance as necessary. Often, we identify and recommend bold, competitive initiatives.

Marshall Capital does business in a manner that values personal relationships and demands the highest standards of ethics and integrity. We understand the unique issues and challenges in the life cycle of family businesses and the significant, often difficult, decisions an owner faces when seeking new capital.

We believe that creating shareholder wealth and growing successful businesses can best be achieved through careful alignment of economic interests. Consequently, we believe it is imperative that senior management participate meaningfully in the equity of each company in which we invest. Our substantial capital resources permit us to tailor transactions that meet a seller's personal and corporate objectives. These resources allow us to move quickly and decisively, but our vision is long term.

As an engine for growth, we seek working partnerships with profitable businesses that have strong management and well-defined objectives for the future. We prefer situations where we can support a capable management team. We focus on companies where operating profits can be increased through growth, cost management, synergistic mergers and acquisitions, operating efficiencies, new-product development and superior strategic planning.
