Target Investment Criteria

We look for companies that have the following characteristics:

Revenue & EBITDA
  • Revenue $3-25 million or slightly higher
  • EBITDA $1-5 million; will consider EBITDA outside of this range with a compelling growth story.
  • In the right scenario, we would consider investing in a turn-around.
Financial Trends
  • Prefer trend of over 2-3 years or more of positive revenue and EBITDA growth but not required; if EBITDA does not have a positive trend then we would want to see evidence of associated expense control to sustain EBITDA margin as % of revenue
  • Like to see company created financial projections for next 3-5 years (income statement; balance sheet and cash flow if possible)
  • Stable working capital characteristics
Management Team
  • Strongly prefer management team to remain in place or an acceptable succession plan be in place.
Ownership Characteristics
  • 1st or 2nd generation owner seeking full or partial transition
  • Company generally at least 10 years old and often over 20+ years
  • Demonstrate sustainable, competitive advantages and strong customer relationships
  • And again, we would consider a turn-around in the right situation
Geographic Location
  • Alliant will consider investments across the continental U.S. but prefer within the range of greater Midwest, Southeastern and Southwestern U.S.
Industry Interests
  • Generalists with respect to industry and will look at companies in manufacturing, distribution, construction/contracting, commercial services, printing, retail, agriculture, healthcare, consumer products, and others; will consider turnaround opportunities.
