APG Partners approach to private equity investing rests on a few core principles:
Business vs. Financially Focused
We are just as interested in your vision, end-market, operations and management team as your historical balance sheet or income statement. We take an active role in understanding all aspects of your business and, when requested, providing direct assistance.
Partnership
We see ourselves as long-term partners with management, not adversaries. We are passionate about building businesses and equity value. We understand that the path to success is never a straight line. Partnerships require flexibility.
General Criteria
APG is more focused on the potential to build an industry leading business than stage of development or transaction type. However, APG will only consider early stage investments if introduced by a trusted referral source.
Management Focus
APG Partners pursues investment opportunities led by driven, knowledgeable and experienced chief executive officers who commit to partner with us.
Drive is a subjective matter. APG looks to partner with management for whom the transaction represents the most significant economic opportunity of their life, not icing on the cake.
Knowledge relates to your company and industry. APG Partners focuses on supporting management teams who have meaningful experience within their industry sector, as opposed to assuming business knowledge is more generally transferable across industries.
Experience relates to the general bumps or bruises of doing business. For instance, APG focuses on supporting management teams who have a proven track record during economic downturns, developing effective control systems or successfully managing cash.
Industry Focus
While not focused on industry sectors, APG Partners has meaningful experience in the following areas:
Healthcare Services
Financial Services
Business Services
Consumer Products
Market Composition and Size
APG Partners is most interested in companies pursing a market-leading position within a growing, fragmented market and whose addressable market exceeds $500 million.
