Why Choose Horizon Partners
Many business owners and management teams ask why they should select Horizon Partners as an acquirer, investor, and/or business partner:
- Attractive Terms - Horizon Partners structures transactions to address the requirements of all parties, a fair price for the selling shareholders, and excellent equity ownership for ongoing management.
- Quick Closing - Due to Horizon's principals' years of experience in consummating acquisitions, and the fact that we acquire and/or invest in companies generally in industries where we have built successful companies in the past, Horizon can move quickly to close a transaction. In general, the time between an executed letter of intent and date of closing is 60-75 days.
- Management Retention of Operational Control - Horizon Partners is a good business partner. When we acquire or invest in a company, Horizon does not interfere with the company's day-to-day operations. Rather, we seek, when asked, to support management in guiding their company's future.
- Excellent Network of Contacts - Our holding company provides a network of contacts which can be useful to the companies which Horizon acquires or invests in, since we are businessmen who have successfully built companies in diverse industries. We can offer sound advice regarding critical strategic and operational decisions.
- Corporate Development Assistance - When external growth is part of a company's strategic plan, Horizon helps management find, evaluate, and structure acquisitions, joint ventures, and licensing agreements. Our experience in developing and implementing acquisition programs for numerous corporations can be a valuable resource to call upon.
- Financing Strength - If a company requires additional financing for future expansion and acquisition, Horizon Partners' knowledge of the financial markets can help in obtaining both short and long-term capital at the lowest possible cost and on the best terms available. In addition, we frequently make additional capital available to growing companies in which Horizon already has an investment.
Over the years, Horizon has acquired many companies and financed numerous management buyouts. Yet, we continually seek new opportunities to invest our capital in new base companies as well as add-on acquisitions for Horizon's existing base companies.
