Our Investment Criteria

Strong Management Team

Clear Growth & Scale Opportunities

Companies with clear, identifiable growth opportunities really appeal to us, whether they are participating in a growing market or have an opportunity to capture market share through organic growth and/or add-on acquisitions.

Attractive Industry Dynamics & Market Positioning

We look for companies that operate in fragmented industries, enabling buy-and-build strategies, with meaningful entry barriers and where they command a strong market position relative to competitors.

Solid, Consistent Cash Generation

We typically look for companies that are able to demonstrate a solid record of stable, predictable and growing cash generation.

Clear Opportunity for Trispan Value Add

We offer a flexible investment model that works across various transaction types – full buyouts, partial buyouts, growth capital, etc. That way we work hard to accommodate the interests of all stakeholders. We can often offer opportunities to crystallise returns where other investment firms cannot.

We are able to leverage our extensive international network of advisors, lenders and strategic partners in order to identify the optimal exit opportunity for all our investments.

We partner with the management team in order to implement a set of strategies over the investment horizon that drive growth and transform the business. Once we have sufficiently added value, we will work to ensure all involved benefit from a smooth and appealing exit.
