STRATEGY
Forkstone Partners executes a focused acquisition strategy targeting profitable, founder-led businesses with operational upside and essential demand.
$500K-$1.5M EBITDA businesses with essential demand profiles
- Founder-owned catering and B2B services, often lacking modern systems but with strong client bases.
- Focus on West Coast markets (Washington, Oregon, California) for operational synergies and market familiarity.
- Businesses providing essential, recession-resistant services, ensuring consistent demand regardless of economic cycles.
- Clear path to technological, operational improvement and scalability.
Target Selection:
Value Creation:
- Implement modern operational systems and optimized scheduling to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
- Digitize sales funnels, CRM, and financial reporting for data-driven decision-making and streamlined management.
- We integrate advanced tech solutions—including AI—to optimize sales, operations, and automation across all functions.
- Strategically expand existing institutional contracts and pursue new, high-value long-term partnerships.
- Introduce cross-selling opportunities and diversify service offerings to capture additional revenue streams.
Systematic operational improvements drive immediate returns
4-7 year hold period maximizes investor returns
- Position businesses for strategic sale to larger private equity firms or industry consolidators at premium multiples.
- Explore roll-up opportunities, combining multiple acquisitions into a larger, more attractive platform for exit.
- Utilize dividend recapitalization as a mechanism to distribute returns to investors while retaining ownership and control.
Strategic Exit:
We focus on companies with strong fundamentals—not speculation—then drive value through hands-on improvements and structured growth.
