Collateral is not like your typical acquirer of businesses. We think of everything through a long term lens because our structural advantages allow us that freedom. We have permanent capital that dates back generations, cashflow streams to weather any investment need or downturn, and a hierarchy that promotes autonomy over bureaucracy. When a company joins Collateral, they can expect to join a family where they are nourished and supported for decades to come.

Why We’re the Right Home for Your Business

Permanent EquityWe invest with a forever mentality. We do not have a fund structure, so we do not deal in transactional windows. All capital is provided internally.

Permanent Equity

Our capital base allows us to build for the long term. Everything we do is built on that aspect. From relationships to company building, everything is long term oriented. Decades prevail, not months.

We CloseOnce we have a deal in place, we close. Trust and integrity is the foundation and the cornerstone for all that we do.

Complete Autonomy

Our individual companies run with complete autonomy once an A+ leader is identified. Local culture is protected and bureaucracy is avoided at all cost.

Deal with the Decision Makers from the StartWe value our time and we value yours. From the outset you will be dealing directly with the investment team.

Enterprise Financial Support

All of our portfolio companies generate cash to be allocated to the highest and best use, enterprise wide. We all work together as a team for the greater enterprise good.

If we sound like a match for your company.
