FOR PARTNERS
We are seeking partnerships with sellers who want to accelerate the growth of their company through strategic M&A or meaningful organic investments, such as opening new locations or expanding capacity.
Oceans Equity brings the following elements to the table:
Cash for Owners and Businesses
Sometimes, you can have it all. We offer our future partners an opportunity to (i) generate liquidity from the value they have created in their business and (ii) retain a significant portion of ownership, participating in the growth that follows our partnership. At the same time, we provide substantial capital availability for the business, fueling accelerated expansion.
Strategic Advisory
We provide board-level strategic guidance to our companies while allowing day-to-day management to remain with the executives. We believe that checks and balances lead to optimal outcomes, and separating ownership from management ensures this balance is achieved.
M&A Expertise
The principals of Oceans Equity have completed over 30 acquisitions, representing $1.1 billion of aggregate enterprise value and $425 million of invested equity. We are well-equipped to accelerate a platform’s acquisition strategy, leading all aspects of the acquisition lifecycle, including strategic target sourcing, underwriting, financing, and integration.
Employee Equity Participation
Alignment of interests is a proven method for ensuring everyone is moving in the same direction. We establish a substantial equity participation program for key team members at each of our investments.
Management & Board Development
We understand which key roles a company needs to support rapid growth, and recruiting talented individuals is a skill we have perfected. Additionally, we invite executives with industry knowledge to join the board, providing valuable perspectives and strategic input from day one. A strong bench can make all the difference between satisfactory results and exceptional ones.
Infrastructure, Reporting, and KPIs
Simply growing earnings is not enough to guarantee maximum value creation. A business needs the infrastructure and independence to sustain growth after our involvement. We help drive initiatives such as KPI implementation, strategic planning, budgeting, audits, cash flow forecasting, and more.
Quality Over Quantity
We excel when we can focus on a select few things instead of spreading ourselves too thin. Our commitment to you is to always provide our full attention and availability.
To achieve favorable outcomes in the M&A process, it is crucial to eliminate uncertainties. Delivering on our promises makes us a preferred choice for advisors, and your clients will appreciate that reliability.
Almost 20 Years of M&A Experience
This isn’t our first rodeo. With nearly two decades of M&A experience, we have developed an efficient transaction process that promptly uncovers key insights, saving valuable time and resources for all parties involved.
Diligence Team
Working with a consistent team of diligence advisors for all our transactions enables us to prioritize the pivotal factors in the due diligence process. This significantly enhances the chances of reaching a successful closing.
Committee & Capital
Our committee provides the green light for underwriting, financing, and investment documentation once an LOI is issued. This demonstrates strong support from our capital partners and highlights our confidence in successfully completing the deal.
Success Fee for Direct Introductions
We reward direct introductions to potential partners with a success fee. For exclusive investment opportunities, we are delighted to offer compensation upon successful closing. Please get in touch with us directly to discuss the details of a fee agreement.
