We focus on growth-oriented lower middle-market companies

 

CommonView Capital makes control equity investments in lower middle-market companies with at least $15 million of annual sales and $2.5 million of cash flow, that offer significant opportunities for growth and value creation. We target companies that have strong growth prospects and defensible market positions. We spend the time and resources necessary to help our companies achieve their growth potential by aggressively pursuing market expansion and strategic acquisitions.

​

Our name says it all – together we create a “common view” for future success

​

We work hard with our management teams prior to making each investment to create a “common view” of future success. By aligning our interests around a focused strategic plan, putting in place an equity incentive program to reward success, and by supporting our management partners in good times and bad with the resources they need to achieve our shared vision, we build strong relationships centered on integrity, communication and mutual respect.
