about our firm
Main Market Partners is a value-added investor in middle-size, private business opportunities. Our focus is working with companies challenged by significant change. These changes can be caused by growth, performance, market issues, or owner succession needs.
We invest our partner's time, the firm's capital, and we access additional private equity funds and capital sources in support of specific value investment plans. Our typical single situation equity investment ranges from as low as $1 million up to $20 million, including capital from our partner private capital firms.
We function as true partners seeking win-win outcomes. Our passion and experience is with main street businesses seeking to excel in mid-sized markets.
We believe our credibility with capital sources, our business experience, and our proven skills dealing with growth-challenged, difficult and distressed middle market situations differentiates Main Market Partners as a value-added equity partner.
Main Market Partners operates in partnership with its sister company, Croley, Martell & Associates, Ltd., a leading provider of turnaround, debtor workout, crisis management, performance improvement, and transaction diligence services in support of middle market companies, private investors, and lending institutions.
our business model
We focus on situations where we believe our time, our expertise and our credibility with capital sources will result in closed transactions that meet company and investor expectations. Our capital sourcing is done on a single transaction basis tailored to the specific needs of the business and investors. Main Market Partners will invest personally and, importantly, maintains private capital relationships expressly interested in transactions we sponsor.
Every business, every situation is unique, especially businesses in growth-challenged or distressed condition. Investors have enormous differences in risk / reward assessment, likes / dislikes, or willingness/patience to support recovery or growth plans. Recognizing these differences, Main Market Partners is prepared to work with each opportunity to tailor a credible balance sheet plan attractive for capital support.
Main Market Partners will engage as Financial Advisor & Capital Arranger, and is prepared to act as Lead Investor, depending on the situation and client need. Our job is to set realistic expectations and then function as your advocate with capital providers resulting in win/win transactions.
