RPV currently seeks to purchase a small number of lower-middle market operating businesses in Texas and the Southeast US. We are generalists in regards to target industries; however, we are particularly interested in manufacturing, distribution and wholesale. RPV looks to acquire businesses based on the following characteristics:
- $5.0 – $20.0M purchase price
- $1.5 – $4.0M EBITDA
- High gross margins
- A differentiated business: strong brand, unique technological advantage, exclusivity agreements, high barriers to entry
- We are open to businesses in niche markets with high customer concentration and/or small total market size as long as the company is a market leader in the niche.
- Strong management team that will stay in place
- Low tech business – can be explained in two sentences or less
- Owner/founder seeks to retire, reduce full-time responsibility or create liquidity
