Private equity groups (PEGs) are firms that buy or invest in companies that, most often, are not publicly traded. There are a few thousand that invest in US-based companies, and each have their own investment style, criteria, method of investing (providers of growth capital, management buyouts, turnarounds, etc.), and industries and sectors of interest. What the majority have in common is that they invest in mid-market or larger companies. Because of this, some small business owners are surprised when I, as a business broker, suggest that pursuing private equity buyers will be part of a comprehensive business marketing strategy.
Codiligent business brokers has done significant research to determine which PEGs are willing to invest in small companies (defined as less than $20 million in revenue), and their acquisition criteria. As a result Codiligent business brokers has about 300 PEGs in its database that will consider small companies. However, the majority of these PEGs have as one of their minimum acquisition criteria at least $1 million in annual Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), so if your business has less than $1 million in EBITDA there will likely be very few PEGs who will be interested in an acquisition.
The following link provides profiles of some of Codiligent's featured buyers' acquisition criteria, which includes some PEGs and will provide a better idea of what types of businesses they are looking for: Codiligent's featured business buyers.
