OUR CRITERIA
WE PURSUE INVESTMENTS IN COMPANIES WHERE OWNERS ARE LOOKING TO TRANSITION OWNERSHIP
"When we own portions of outstanding businesses with outstanding managements, our favourite holding period is forever."
- Warren Buffet
Advantera Group is looking to invest in businesses that have strong fundamentals including profitable operations, good margins and defensible competitive positions, generally in traditional industries. Opportunities in other industries that demonstrate growth and profitability are also considered.
Ownership is for the long-term. We are not interested in moving in and out of investments after 7 years like a typical private equity firm.
We target small to mid-market businesses.
Investments are targeted at companies with EBITDA of $500k to $5 million. Our criteria is focused on majority positions where there is an operating history of over 5 years.
We partner with strong management teams who are passionate about delivering exceptional returns and promoting our values.
We have run businesses across the globe, but we believe Ontario and Alberta are two of the best jurisdictions for long-term success.
