Investment criteria
We’re looking for companies ready to scale quickly, either through untapped market potential or by franchising nationally and internationally.
We focus on industries that have wide fragmentation and have not yet been consolidated, and industries that lack national branding.
Investment goals
We want to consolidate businesses and create industry leaders, and we do this by working with management teams who are hungry and willing to grow with Skidmore’s leadership.
Through this, we aim to achieve:
- 3 to 5-year payback on investments
- 17% Return on Investments
- A clear path to majority ownership, either through complete buyouts, majority positions or significant minority (minimum 20%)—ultimately, a growth-focused management team that’s primed to rapidly grow market share.
